PREFACE. 


iV, 


To  give  completeness  to  this  edition  of  CharloToix,  I  have,  in  the 
Addbnda  et  Oobbiobnda,  not  only  rectified  some  errors,  but  have 
also  introduced  references  to  all  works  on  Oanadian  History  pub- 
lished while  it  was  in  progress. 

Before  issuing  my  last  yolume,  I  must  also  express  my  deep  sense 
of  obligation  to  the  many  friends  who  have  aided  me  in  my  re- 
searches while  preparing  for  and  completing  it,  students  in  the 
same  field  of  historical  investigation.  Among  these  I  would  name 
the  Hon.  Jacques  Viger,  the  Abb^  FaiUon,  Mr.  Faribault,  and  in  an 
especial  manner  the  Abb^  Ferland,  who  have  all  passed  from 
amongst  us,  and  the  Bev.  Father  FeUz  Martin,  S.  J.,  the  Abb^s 
Laverdiero  and  Casgrain  of  Quebec,  the  Abb^  Bois  of  Maskinonge, 
Rev.  Mr.  Daniel  of  Montreal,  Dr.  E.  B.  O'Callaghac,  Mr.  Francis 
Parkman,  the  Hon.  H.  C.  Murphy  and  Mr.  George  H.  Moore, 
whose  services  will  long,  I  trust,  be  given  to  the  cause  of  History.

What  often  befalls  two  olossee  of  persons  befell  Louysi-  1700-15. 
ana.  The  one  class,  with  acknowledged  and  superior 
merit,  for  some  inexplioable  reason,  never  suooeed  in  ob- 
taining their  due  meed  of  justice,  or  in  displaying  their 
talents,  remaining  useless  and  obscure,  while  possessing 
erery  requisite  for  attaining  the  highest  reputation  and 
rendering  the  most  essential  services  to  the  state. 

The  other  class,  from  the  fact  that  too  favorable  an 
opinion  was  formed  of  them  at  first,  or  an  imaginary 
merit  attributed  to  them  instead  of  a  real  one,  are  rejected 
in  spite  of  solid  merit,  being  compelled  to  bear  the  penalty 
of  the  hasty  judgm-^nts  formed  in  regard  to  them.  Unless 
I  am  much  deceived,  my  readers  will  themselves  apply  this 
to  the  province  with  which  I  close  my  History. 

We  have  seen  that  the  Spaniards  under  Ferdinand  de 
Soto  had,  at  great  expense,  attempted  to  settle  Florida  ; 
that  their  commander  spent  the  whole  last  year  of  his  life 
in  exploring  both  banks  of  the  Mioissipi,  called  by  his  his-

he  nor  his  successor,  Mosooso,  took  any  steps  to  found  a

ignorant  in  Spain  that  one  of  the  greatest  rivers  in  the 
world  ran  through  Florida,  watering  a  delightful  country, 
with  a  healthy  and  temperate  olimAte,  the  possession  of 
which  would  secure  to  the  Catholic  King  all  the  Qulf  of 
Mexico. 

The  French,  after  discovering  all  the  known  course  of 
this  same  river,  seemed  to  pay  scarcely  any  greater  atten-

'-'  r-^'  years  glided  by  in  this  indifference ;  at  last  the  proximity 
to  the  mines  of  New  Mexico,  and  those  published  as  hav- 
ing been  discovered  in  Louysiana  itself,  having  aroused 
our  nation  from  this  lethargy,  the  kingdom  in  less  than 
three  years  sent  out  more  men,  money  and  material  to 
found  a  settlement  in  that  part  of  America,  than  had  left 
France  for  any  one  of  our  colonies  in  the  New  World  since 
the  days  of  Francis  I. 

But  when  it  was  evident  that  this  country  produced  nei* 
ther  gold  nor  silver,  and  that  it  was  not  easy  to  make  the 
wealth,  which  New  Spain  possessed  within  it,  flow  in 
Louysiana,  the  province  suddenly  fell  under  general  cen- 
sure :  no  one  regarded  the  fertility  of  the  soil,  or  the  pro- 
ductions it  would  yield  with  moderate  toil,  nor  the  import- 
ance of  establishing  a  naval  station  on  the  Gulf  of  Mexi- 
co. The  trepsures  brought  from  France  disappeared ;  men 
died  of  want,  although  they  had  all  requisite  to  live  in  opu- 
lence, or  else  they  dispersed  on  all  sides,  as  we  shall  see  in 
the  sequel  of  this  history. 

When  d'Iberville  left  it,  in  April,  1700,  Louysiana  had  no 
French  settlements  except  those  of  some  Canadians,  in 
Illinois,  a  fort  near  the  mouth  of  the  Micissipi,  which  last- 
ed only  till  1705,  and  another  at  Biloxi  on  the  sea  shore. 
Mr.  de  Sauvole  commanded  in  this  latter,  which  was  the 
headquarters.  The  former  had  been  intrusted  by  d'Iber- 
ville to  his  brother  de  Bienville  and  the  Sieui'  Juche- 
reau  de  St.  Denys,'  his  wife's  uncle,  a  man  much  esteemed 
by  the  Indians,  and  a  fluent  speaker  of  the  languages  of 
several  nations.  He  had  also,  on  parting,  given  orders  to 
his  kinsman,  le  Sueur,  to  proceed  to  the  Sioux  country

This  detachment  started  towards  the  end  of  April, 
(1700,)'  ascended  the  Micissipi  to  St.  Anthony's  Falls,  en- 
tered St.  Peter's  Paver,'  forty  leagues  up  which  they  found 
another  river  emptying  on  the  left,  and  which  has  been 
called  Biviere  Yerte,  (Green  Biver,)*  because  earth  falling 
from  the  mine  gives  it  that  color.  Le  Sueur  could  sail  up 
this  river  only  about  a  league,  finding  it  covered  with 
doating  ice,  although  it  was  only  the  end  of  September. 
This  compelled  him  to  throw  up  at  that  spot  a  kind  of 
fort'  to  pass  the  winter,  which  proved  extremely  severe, 
and  lasted  till  the  beginning  of  April. 

The  writer  who  gives  an  account  of  this  voyage,  states  a  Remorka. 
circumstance  which  is  worthy  of  notice.  He  says  that 
having  run  out  of  provisions,  they  made  up  for  it  by  hunt- 
ing buffaloes ;  that  to  preserve  the  flesh  of  these  animals, 
they  quartered  them,  and  for  wa:it  of  salt,  left  them  in  the 
air,  where  they  soon  spoiled ;  that  at  first  they  found  it 
very  hard  to  accustom  themselves  to  this  food,  which  gave 
them  all  diarrhoeas  and  fevers,  with  such  a  loathing  for  it,

kinsman  of  d'Ibcrville.  In  1GU3  he 
was  at  Chogoimegon,  maintaining 
peace  between  the  Chippewas  and 
the  Sioux.  N.  Y.  Col.  Doc.,  ix.,  p.

Canada  was  captured  by  the  Eng^

to  Minnesota,  he  returned  to  France

died  at  sea.  La  Harpe,  p.  21.  Ear-

that  they  could  not  even  bear  the  smell ;  bat  their  stomach 
gradually  became  so  adapted  to  it,  that  at  the  end  of  six 
weeks  there  was  not  one  among  them  who  did  not  eat  ten 
pounds  a  day  and  drink  four  bowls  of  soup ;  that  far  from 
being  affected  by  it,  they  became  quite  fat,  and  not  one 
was  sick.' 

As  soon  as  April  came,  le  Sueur  proceeded  to  the  mine, 
which  was  only  two  miles  and  a  quarter  distant,  and  in 
twenty-two  days  he  got  out  thirty  thousand  pounds  of  ore ; 
he  picked  out  four  thousand  of  what  seemed  richest  and 
sent  it  to  France.  The  spot  worked  by  him  is  at  the  be- 
ginning of  a  mountain  which  is  ten  leagues  long,  and  all 
apparently  of  the  same  character.  It  is  on  the  bank  of 
the  river,  does  not  produce  a  single  tree,  and  is  constantly 
enveloped  in  mists,  even  in  the  finest  weather.  The  soil 
where  the  ore  is  extracted  is  green,  and  you  can  scratch 
the  copper  with  a  knife  ;  but  you  must  first  take  off  a  kind 
of  crust  as  hard  as  rock,  black  and  burned  like  coal  by  the 
vapor  issuing  from  tho  ore.  Many  rather  interesting  inci- 
dents, too  long  to  detail  here,  but  still  more,  want  of  funds 
prevented  le  Sueur  from  pushing  this  enterprise.* 

The  next  year  d'Iberville  made  a  third  voyage  to  Louy- 
siana,  and  began  a  post  on  Maubile  Biver.  He  even  laid 
the  foundations  of  a  fort  to  which  de  Bienville,  (who  be- 
came commandant  on  de  Sauvole's  death,)  soon  after 
transferred  all  that  there  was  at  Biloxi,  abandoning  the 
latter  post.'  In  1702  d'Iberville  returned  for  the  fourth 
time  and  erected  on  Massacre  Island  storehouses  and  bar- 
racks, because  as  that  island  had  a  port,  it  was  much 
easier  to  land  goods  brought  from  France  there,  than  to 
send  them  on  sloops  to  Fort  Maubile.*  It  was  at  this  time

of  Maubile,  where  they  cleared  quite  a  large  tract,  and 
always  lived  harmoniously  with  the  whites.  Others,  like 
the  Apalaohes,  came  there  of  their  own  accord,  prefenag

been  settled ;  but  these  last  excepted,  to  whom  for  a  time 
a  missionary  was  assigned,  no  more  suitable  steps  were 
taken  to  gain  the  Indians  of  these  parts  to  Christ,  than 
were  adopted  to  give  a  sohd  foundation  to  the  French

1710-25.      Indeed,  there  could  scarcely  be  said  to  be  a  colony  in 
"-^t"--  Louysiana,  or  at  least  it  did  not  begin  to  take  shape  till 
Arrival  of  a  ^^^  arrival  of  Diron  d'Artaguette  as  Commissaire  Ordon- 
M.ire'orl  nateur  in  1708.    This  magistrate's  first  care  was  to  enable 
donnaieur.  ^l^Q  settlers  to  cultivate  the  soil,  which  seemed  quite  fertile 
along  Maubile  Eiver,  so  that  they  might  not  ^e  obliged  to 
wander  about,  living  by  hunting  or  with  the  Indians  when- 
ever the  ships  from  France  were  late  in  bringing  pro- 
visions, as  it  happened  on  several  occasions.' 

But  success  did  not  crown  his  hopes.  Around  Maubile 
there  is  only  a  mere  surface  of  good  soil,  and  moreover, 
wheat  can  never  ripen  there  well  on  account  of  the  fogs, 
which  produce  rust.  They  made  up  for  this  for  some  time 
by  raising  tobacco,  which  succeeded  better.*  D'Artaguette, 
in  a  letter  dated  January  10th,  1711,  says  that  Maubile 
tobacco  was  esteemed  aooye  the  Virginian. 

He  added  that  in  the  month  of  September  of  the  preced- 
ing year,  an  English  corsair  had  ravaged  Dauphin  Island, 
plundered  and  burned  the  houses  and  stores,  wreaked  unpar- 
alleled cruelties  on  the  people  to  force  them  to  tell  where 
they  had  hidden  their  money,  and  that  the  damage  done  to 
the  King  and  to  individuals  amounted  to  eighty  thousand 
francs,'  whence  he  concluded  that  it  was  absolutely  neces- 
sary to  fortify  the  island.  The  Commissaire  reasoned  well 
according  to  the  prevailing  idea,  which  was  to  plant  the

obliged  to  do.' 

D'Artaguette  returned  to  France  the  same  year,  and  Lonviiona 
gave  the  court  a  great  deal  of  light  as  to  Louysiana.  crocai? 
Some  years  before,  de  Muys,  major  of  the  forces  in  Cana- 
da, and  heretofore  mentioned,  had  been  appointed  Gover- 
nor of  Louysiana,  but  that  officer  dying  on  the  way,  the 
King  appointed  as  his  successor  the  Sieur  de  la  Motte 
Cadillac,*  and  in  the  instructions  given  him  it  was  stated, 
that  the  King,  having  deemed  proper  to  grant  to  the 
Sieur  Crozat  the  monopoly  of  the  Louysiana  trade  for 
sixteen  years,  with  an  absolute  right  in  perpetuity  to  him 
and  his  heirs  in  the  mines,  veins  and  minerals,  discovered 
and  worked  on  the  conditions  laid  down  in  his  Letters  Pa- 
tent, the  King  wished  the  Governor  to  examine  on  the  ar- 
rival of  every  one  of  said  Sieur  Crozat's  ships,  whether 
the  condition  of  carrying  out  six  unmarried  young  men  or 
women  by  each  ship  was  complied  with.* 

The  King  added  that  the  Sieur  d'Artaguette,  commia-

had  selected  the  Sieur  Duclos'  to  perform  the  duties  of    Couooii,

1713-25.   8ible  to  create  judges  there  as  in  other  colonies,  the  popu- 

^^'^'  lation  being  so  small,  he  had  nevertheless  deemed  it  best 

to  establish  a  Superior  Council  there  for  three  years,  to 

judge  all  matters,  civil  and  criminal;  to  compose  this 

council,  he  selected  the  Governor  and  Commissaire  Or- 

donnateur  jointly,  and  one  clerk ;  that  by  their  conduct  in 

discharging  the  judicial  powers  vested  in  them,  he  would 

decide  either  to  continue  and  increase  the  powei's  of  the 

Council  or  abandon  it.* 

SpMdard*      Meanwhile,  de  Crozat  had  recommended  de  la  Motte 

refuse  to  Cadillac,  whom  he  had  made  a  partner  in  his  trade,  to  send 

allow  trade  ^  ' 

between    detachments  towards  the  Illinois  to  discover  mines ;  and 

Louyiiiaua 

and  towards  the  Spaniards  of  Old  and  New  Mexico,  to  open 
trade  with  those  two  provinces.  I  have  spoken  in  my 
Journal '  at  length  on  the  former'of  these  two  enterprises, 
which  kept  all  France  in  suspense  for  several  years,  and 
at  last  came  to  nothing. 

Nor  was  the  second  more  successful.  Scarcely  had  La 
Motte  Cadillac  landed  at  Dauphin  Island,*  before  he  dis- 
patched the  ship  that  had  brought  him  to  Vera  Cruz ;  but 
this  voyage  was  useless.  Mr.  de  la  Jonchere  *  who  com- 
manded the  vessel,  could  not  obtain  the  Viceroy's  permis- 
sion to  sell  his  cargo ;  the  Viceroy  presented  him  some  cat- 
tle and  provisions  that  he  needed,  and  then  required  him 
to  set  sail  at  once.'  The  Governor  hoped  to  succeed  bet-

This  expedition  he  confided  to  the  Sieur  de  St.  Denys,*  -^^~^' 
and  it  could  not  have  been  placed  in  better  hands.  The  Gov- 
ernor gave  him  ten  thousand  francs'  worth  of  goods,  and 
agreed  with  him  that  they  were  to  be  stored  among  the 
Natchitoches,  an  Indian  tribe  on  Bed  Biver,  with  whom  de 
Bienville  and  this  same  Saint  Denys  had  formed  an  alli- 
ance in  1701,  and  of  wiiich  some  members  had,  within  a 
few  years,  settled  on  the  Micissipi,  near  the  Colapissas. 

Saint  Denys,  deeming  it  expedient  to  take  these  Natchi- 
toches with  him,  proposed  it  through  F^nicaut,  a  ship-car- 
penter. This  man  had  accompanied  le  Sueur  to  his  cop- 
per-mine :  he  had  made  several  other  excursions  on  the 
Micissipi,  and  understood  almost  all  the  Indian  languages 
of  Louysiana.  He  himself  had  brought  the  Natchitoches 
to  the  Colapissas,  and  had  no  difficulty  in  persuading  them 
to  return  to  their  former  abode  with  de  Saint  Denys. 

But  the  Colapissas,  who  had  received  them  with  great 
humanity,  and  who  had  found  them  not  useless,  were  so 
offended  to  see  them  depart  without  even  any  apology, 
that  they  pursued  them,  killed  seventeen,  and  carried  off  a 
great  many  of  their  women  and  children.  The  rest  es- 
caped through  the  woods  and  reached  de  Saint  Denys, 
who  was  awaiting  them  at  Biloxi.  He  set  out  with  them, 
and  passing  through  the  village  of  the  Tonioas,  induced 
the  chief  of  that  nation  to  follow  him  with  fifteen  of  his 
best  hunters.'

on  the  Mioissipi,'  he  baiU  some  bouses  for  the  Frenohmen 
whom  he  intended  to  station  there  ;  he  indaoed  some  other 
Indians  to  join  the  Natchitoches,  assuring  them  that  he 
would  never  forsake  them,  and  he  distributed  among  both, 
agricultural  impleo'.ents  and  seed  to  sow.  He  then  select- 
ed twelve  of  the  iianchmen  whom  he  had  brought  along, 
and  some  Indians,  and  leaving  Red  Biver,  which  is  not 
navigable  above  the  Island  of  the  Natchitoches,  took  his 
route  westward. 

After  twenty  days'  march  he  reached  the  Assinais,* 
neighbors  of  the  Genis,  if  they  are  not  the  Oenis  them- 
selves,' and  quite  near  the  spot  where  de  la  Sale  was  killed. 
But  the  fact  is,  that  those  Indians  did  not  recollect  to 
have  ever  before  seen  Frenchmen,  or  know  any  other  Eu- 
ropeans than  some  Spaniards,  who  went  naked  like  them- 
selves and  hved  miserably.  The  Assinais  gave  de  Saint 
Denys  guides,  and  he  travelled  one  hundred  and  fifty 
leagues  further  to  the  southwest,  before  reaching  the  first 
Spanish  settlements. 

At  last  he  found,  on  the  banks  of  a  great  river,  a  fort 
which  bore  the  name  of  San  Juan  Bautista,  and  Presidio 
del  Norte.  He  was  well  received  by  the  commandant,  Don 
Pedro  de  Yilescas,^  who  took  him  to  his  quarters,  as  well 
as  Medard  Jallot,  his  valet  de  chambre,  surgeon,  and  P^- 
nicaut,  and  assigned  lodgings  for  the  rest  of  his  party.  Af- 
ter some  days'  rest.  Saint  Denys  began  negotiations  with 
Don  Pedro ;  he  told  him  that  he  came  in  behalf  of  the 
Governor  of  Louysiana  to  propose  opening  a  regulated 
trade  with  that  colony,  under  such  conditions  as  he  should 
propose.

him  that  it  was  necessary  for  him  to  go  and  see  the  Viceroy

1710-35.  SaiDt  Denys  held  no  rank  in  Louysiana,  serving  only  as 
^-^y—^  a  volunteer ;  here  he  was  o£fered  a  company  in  the  caval- 
ry, an  o£fer  to  tempt  a  Canadian  officer  without  means ;  he 
refused  it,  however,  and  in  spite  of  all  they  could  say,  ad- 
hered to  his  refusal.  The  Viceroy  told  him  that  he  was 
already  half  a  Spaniard,  as  he  sought  the  hand  of  the 
daughter  of  Don  Pedro  de  Yilesoas,  and  was  to  marry  her 
on  his  return  to  Fort  San  Juan. 

Saint  Denys  replied :  "  I  cannot  dissemble,  since  your 
excellency  is  informed  that  I  love  that  lady,  but  I  had 
not  indulged  the  hope  of  winning  her  as  my  v«Ife."  "  You 
will  obtain  it,"  said  the  Viceroy,  "  if  you  accept  the  o£fer  I 
have  made,  and  I  give  you  two  months  to  consider  it." 
At  the  end  of  that  time  he  sounded  him  again,  and  finding 
him  inflexible,  dismissed  him,  placing  in  his  hands  a 
purse  of  a  thousand  dollars,  saying  that  it  was  for  his 
wedding  expenses.  "  I  hope,"  he  added,  "  that  Dona  Ma- 
ria will  be  more  fortunate  than  myself  in  persuading  you 
to  remain  in  New  Spain.  As  for  establishing  trade  with 
Louysiana,  which  you  have  come  so  far  to  solicit,  it  is  not 
possible  for  me  to  grant  it  to  you."

ing tiim,  his  surgical  skill  having  won  him  very  great  respect 
in  the  country.  They  proceeded  to  the  quarters  of  Don 
Pedro  de  Vilescas,*  whom  they  found  in  great  perplexity. 
That  commandant  had  just  learned  that  the  whole  popu- 
lation of  four  Indian  towns,  exasperated  at  the  oppression 
of  the  Spaniards  at  Presidio  del  Norte,  had  just  set  out  to 
emigrate  elsewhere,  and  he  feared  to  be  held  responsible 
for  this  desertion,  r/hich,  moreover,  reduced  his  fort  to 
great  extremity,  as  the  garrison  owed  its  subsistence 
almost  entirely  to  these  very  Indians.

them.  Don  Pedro  embraced  him,  but  warned  him  of  the 
great  risk  of  going  alone  ;  Saint  Denjs  replied  that  he 
felt  no  fear,  and  at  onoe  with  Jallot  mounted  his  horse. 
He  goon  overtook  the  Indians,  whoso  baggage,  men  '  and 
children  rendered  the  march  very  slow.  As  soon  as  he 
perceived  them  at  a  distance,  he  put  his  handkerchief  on 
a  rod  as  a  flag,  then  advanced  towards  the  chiefs,  who 
awaited  his  approach. 

He  showed  them,  using  the  Spanish  language,  to  what 
dangers  they  would  be  exposed  by  venturing  among  tribes 
that  they  did  not  know,  but  whom  he  knew  to  be  very  un^ 
sociable  and  cruel.  He  then  told  them  that  if  they  would 
return  to  their  former  abode,  he  would  guarantee,  in  the 
name  of  the  commandant,  that  no  Spaniard  should  ever 
set  foot  in  their  villages  unless  they  approved  it,  and  that 
in  the  future  they  should  have  only  reason  to  praise  the 
officers  and  soldiers. 

They  yielded  to  his  arguments,  and  Don  Pedro  was  i>o 
less  surprised  than  delighted  to  see  his  guest  return  with 
all  the  Indians,  whose  flight  would  undoubtedly  have 
proved  his  ruin.  He  instantly  ratified  all  the  promises 
made  by  Saint  Deuys,  and  they  returned  to  their  towns, 
which  the  Spaniards  were  forbidden  to  enter  under  pain 
of  death,  unless  by  express  permission.* 

After  this  great  service,  Saint  Denys  had  no  difficulty  in 
inducing  Yilescas  to  give  him  his  daughter  in  marriage, 
and  the  wedding  was  celebrated  with  all  the  Spanish 
pomp  and  magnificence  that  the  place  permitted.  The 
newly-married  pair  remained  there  together  six  months, 
when  Saint  Denys  thought  that  he  should  no  longer  delay 
in  returning  to  report  to  de  la  Motte  Cadillac  the  result  of

mising to  return  as  soon  as  po«sible  for  her.' 
Tb«         During  the  whole  course  of  these  negotiations  and  ad- 

endelrorto  veotures,  the  QoTemor  of  Louysiana  had  sent  the  Sieur 
de  la  Loire  to  the  Natchez,  with  goods  to  establish  store- 
houses. There  he  found  Englishmen  from  Carolina,  come 
to  induce  these  Indians,  with  the  Yazous  and  Chicachas* 
to  declare  war  on  other  nations,  so  as  to  bring  in  captives, 
and  it  wah  all  carried  out.  They  were  even  suspected  of 
intriguing  against  us,  and  la  Loire  soon  after  received 
orders  to  arrest  their  officer,  who  had  remained  alone 
among  the  Natchez. 

He  obeyed,  and  the  officer  was  taken  to  Maubile,  where 
Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  commanded  there  in  the  absence  of 
Mr.  de  la  Motte  Cadillac,  regaled  him  well  for  three  days' 
after  which  he  permitted  him  to  return.  He  took  his 
route  by  PeuBacoln,  where  the  governor,  Don  Quzmun, 
also  gave  him  a  cordial  welcome  ;  but  while  endeavoring 
to  reach  Carolina  through  the  Alibamons,  he  fell  in  with  a 
hunting  band  of  Tomez  Lidians,  who  tomahawked  him. 
What  then  roused  these  Lidians  against  the  English,  does 
not  appear,  but  most  of  them  suddenly  rose  against  them.

tioQS  wbftt  had  occurred  among  the  Oboctaws,  than  the  <7i3-'5 
AlibamouH  and  several  other  tribes,  with  whom  we  had  *— ~^ — 
been  almost  always  at  war,  formed  a  league  and  made  an 
incursion  into  Carolina,  ravaging  several  settlements  and 
carrying  ofif  a  number  of  prisoners,  whom  they  took  to 
Maubile.  Bienville  I'ansomed  them  from  the  Indians  and 
provided  for  their  support  till  he  found  a  favorablo  oppor- 
tunity to  send  them  home  without  any  risk.' 

De  la  Motte  Cadillac  had  gone  up  to  the  Illinois,  and  on 
his  return  to  Maubile,  it  was  announced  that  a  silver  mine 
had  been  discovered  in  the  country  whence  he  came.'  I 
have  explained  in  my  journal  the  whole  afifair  of  these 
pretended  discoveries,  which  so  deluded  the  French, 
though  much  more  in  Europe  than  in  America.  There 
was  more  reaUty  in  a  deputation  which  the  Governor 
received  on  his  arrival  at  Maubile.  A  chief  highly  es- 
teemed in  the  country,  came  in  to  form  an  alliance  with 
him  in  the  name  of  several  tribes,  and  at  the  same 
time  the  Alibamous,  hitherto  our  most  declared  ene- 
mies, offered  to  introduce  the  French  into  their  vil- 
lage and  erect  a  fort  at  their  own  expense.  Their 
o£fer  was  accepted,  the  fort  built,  and  Captain  de  la 
Tour  took  possession  with  two  lieutenants  and  some 
soldiers.* 

Meanwhile,  it  was  perceived  that  the  Natchez  were  plot- 
ting some  treachery ;  they  killed  four  Frenchmen  *  who 
were  travelling  with  some  of  fheir  tribe,  and  prepared  to

escape. 


'713-25-  do  the  8ame  to  the  Messieurs  de  la  Loire,  the  elder  of 
whom  had  set  out  for  the  Illinois  with  another  party  of 
these  savages,  while  the  younger  remained  in  their  great 
village.  But  one  of  those  who  accompanied  the  former, 
warned  him  to  be  on  his  guard.  He  immediately  spoke  to 
all  the  others  in  private,  and  without  revealing  the  name 
of  his  informant,  he  promised  them  a  great  reward,  and 
gave  them  his  word  to  keep  their  secret  if  they  acknowl- 
edged the  truth. 

All  declared  that  at  a  point  six  leagues  further  on,  where 
they  would  have  to  run  close  by  the  shore  to  avoid  a  very 
dangerous  whirlpool,  a  party  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  of 
their  tribe,  armed  with  muskets,  were  lying  in  wait  for 
them,  commanded  by  a  chief  named  le  Barbu,  and  that  he 
would  infallibly  be  slain  there.  This  avowal  of  eight  men, 
all  stating  the  same  thing,  induced  la  Loire  to  turn  back ; 
but  as  he  had  every  reason  to  believe  that  there  was  a 
general  conspiracy  among  the  Natchez,  he  was  filled  with 
anxiety  in  regard  to  his  brother. 

Fenicaut,  who  accompanied  him,  offered  to  rescue  him 
from  the  great  village  of  the  Natchez,  and  adopted  these 
steps  to  effect  his  design.  The  whole  party  having  arrived 
about  an  hour  and  a  half  before  nightfall  at  the  Natchez 
landing,  Fenicaut  went  ashore  alone,  telling  la  Loire  to 
wait  for  him  till  midnight,  and  that  if  he  did  not  appear  by 
that  time,  to  give  him  up  for  dead ;  in  which  case  his  only 
course  would  be  to  push  on.  He  then  advanced  towards 
the  cabin  of  the  younger  la  Loire,  which  was  a  league  dis- 
tant, carrying  only  his  gun,  powder-flask  and  a  few  balls. 

As  he  approached  the  village,  some  Natchez,  who  per- 
ceived him,  ran  to  tell  la  Loire  that  a  Frenchman  was 
coming ;  he  came  out  to  see  who  it  was,  and  recognizing 
Fenicaut,  asked  tidings  of  his  brother  and  the  reason  of 
his  coming.  Fenicaut  told  him  that  he  had  fallen  sick  ; 
I  ut  once  in  his  cabin,  he  told  him  to  send  for  the  Qreat 
Chief  of  the  Natchez,  who  came  at  once.  Fenicaut  told 
him  that  bIx  of  the  eight  Natchez  who  had  started  with 
the  Sieur  de  la  Loire  and  him,  to  go  to  the  Illinois,  hav-

ing  fallen  ill,  they  had  been  forced  to  turn  back ;  that  they  1713-25. 
were  all  at  the  landing,  and  he  begged  him  to  send  thirty  '  *"»  ^' 
Indians  early  in  the  morning  to  unload  the  canoe  and 
transport  the  goods  to  the  warehouse. 

This  the  Great  Chief  promised,  and  he  added  that  Mr. 
de  la  Loire  had  done  well  to  go  no  further,  as  he  had 
been  very  anxious  about  him  on  account  of  the  Tazoos,  a 
treacherous  tribe,  hostile  to  the  French.  Penicaut  made 
no  reply,  and  manifested  absolute  confidence  in  the  chief ; 
but  when  the  latter  retired,  he  informed  la  Loire  of  the 
motive  of  his  coming,  and  showed  him  that  he  must  think 
only  of  escaping,  and  that  there  was  not  a  moment  to  lose. 
This  was  no  easy  matter,  la  Loire  told  him,  as  three  In- 
dians slept  in  his  room ;  but  Penicaut  reassured  him,  and 
was  sanguine  of  success. 

When  it  was  really  night,  they  lay  down,  and  the  In- 
dians first  fell  asleep ;  Penicaut  would  have  stabbed  them, 
but  la  Loire  prevented  him,  thinking  it  not  easy  to  kill 
three  men  before  one  of  them  might  have  a  chance  to  cry 
out.  Penicaut  then  gently  opened  the  door  and  let  out  la 
Loire,  who  had  taken  the  precaution  of  loading  his  gun. 
A  few  minutes  later  he  glided  out  himself,  double 
locked  the  room  on  the  outside  and  ran  after  his 
companion,  whom  he  soon  overtook.  As  they  approached 
the  landing,  they  met  the  elder  la  Loire,  who  had  begun 
to  be  alarmed  ;  they  embarked  at  once,  and  dismissed  the 
eight  Natchez  after  liberally  rewarding  them.' 

About   ten  o'clock   in   the  morning  they  reached  the  The  chief  of 

theTonloot 

Tonicas,  and  while  they  were  there,  they  saw  three  refuses  to 
Natchez  arrive,  whom  the  Great  Chief,  furious  at  the  plot, 
escape  of  the  la  Loires,  sent  to  the  chief  of  the  Tonicas, 
to  indaoe  him  to  massacre  all  the  French  who  were  in  his 
village.  The  Touioa,  who  was  an  upright  man,  a  sincere 
friend  of  the  French,  was  indignant  at  such  a  proposal.' 
He  would  have  tomahawked  the  man  who  dared  make  it,

Mr.de 
Bienville 

sent  tu 
demand 
satlafac- 

tluE. 


I7i3'25-  as  his  sole  answer,  had  he  not  been  restrained  by  Mr.  Da- 
vion,  who  was  a  missionary  in  his  village. 

The  Messrs.  de  la  Loire  continued  their  journey,  and 
reached  Maubile,  where  all  were  surprised  to  see  them 
back,  and  still  more  to  learn  the  reason  of  their  return. 
Mr.  de  la  Motte  Cadillac  thought  that  this  treachery  of 
the  Natchez  should  not  be  allowed  to  go  unpunished,  and 
raised  a  party  of  a  hundred  men,  soldiers  and  settlers,  un- 
der  the  command  of  Mr.  de  Bienville,  Eing's>lieutenant, 
with  ^vhom  he  associated  Mr.  de  Pailloux,  major  in  the 
army.  Captain  de  Bichebourg,  Lieutenant  du  Ticn^  and 
the  two  brothers  who  had  just  escaped  from  the  Natchez.' 
As  they  passed  before  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas,  they  noticed 
a  bag  hanging  from  the  branch  of  a  tree  on  the  river  side, 
and  in  this  bag  they  found  a  letter  from  Mr.  Davion,  who, 
ascertaining  that  they  would  pass  by  there  witL./ui  stop- 
ping, informed  them  that  a  Frenchman  named  Biohard,  on 
his  way  from  the  Illinois,  had  been  taken  by  the  Natchez; 
that  these  savages,  after  plundering  him  of  all  his  goods, 
had  taken  him  to  their  village,  cut  off  his  feet  and  hands, 
and  cast  him,  still  living,  into  a  mudhule.* 

Up  to  this  time,  Mr.  de  Bienville  had  imagined  that  the 
Messrs.  de  la  Loire  had  been  seized  with  a  mere  panic ; 
the  perusal  of  this  letter  disabused  him.  He  did  not 
1 71 6.  even  deem  himself  strong  enough  to  march  direct  upon 
the  Natchez ;  he  entered  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas,  built 
a  fort,  and  sent  du  Tisn^  with  twenty  men  to  the  Great 
Chief  of  the  Natchez,  to  tell  him  that  he  had  some 
matters  to  impart  to  him,  and  that  he  begged  the  chief  to 
meet  him  at  the  Tonicas.  Du  Tisn^  returned  the  next 
day  and  informed  de  Bienville  that  the  Great  Chief  would 
soon  foUow  him.  He  did  not,  however,  leave  his  village, 
but  sent  to  the  French  commandant  some  subaltern  chiefs, 
with  about  twenty-five  men.

As  soon  as  Bienville  perceived  their  canoe  in  tho  dis-  I7i3->S* 
tance,  he  raised  five  flags  on  the  river  bank,  erected  a  num-  ^""•"^"■^ 
ber  of  tents,  and  beat  all  his  drums  to  make  them  believe     what 
that  he  had  at  least  six  hundred  men.    The  Indians  dis-   betwera 
embarked  and  entered  the  fort  with  as  much  confidence  as  ''iKtchet ' 
though  the  affair  were  a  mere  visit.    Thej  then  presented 
to  the  commandant  a  calumet  of  peace,  but  he  refused  it, 
which  so  startled  those  savages,  that  they  gave  themselves 
up  for  lost.    Bienville  told  them,  with  an  angtj  air,  that  he 
had  come  to  exact  satisfaction  for  the  murder  of  the  five 
Frenchmen  which  they  had  committed;  that  he  wished 
them  either  to  deliver  up  the  murderers,  or  at  least  bring 
in  their  heads. 

What  he  demanded,  was,  they  replied,  not  in  their 
power ;  but  if  he  so  desired,  they  would  send  some  of  their 
party  to  their  Great  Chief,  to  notify  him  of  the  comman- 
dant's intentions.  He  consented  on  condition  that  all  the 
others  should  remain  his  prisoners,  and  he  at  once  had 
them  conveyed  to  a  cabin,  where  a  strict  watch  was 
kept  over  them.'  Those  who  went  to  the  Natchez  soon 
returned  and  presented  to  the  commandant  the  head  of 
a  man*  whom  the  Qreat  Chief  had  put  to  death,  but 
who  really  was  not  one  of  the  murderers.  Bienville 
asked  them  whether  they  intended  to  make  game  of 
him,  and  added  that  he  must  have  the  heads  of  the 
culprits,  especially  the  head  of  a  chief  whom  he  had 
named  expressly. 

The  envoys  replied  that  this  chief  was  the  nephew  of 
the  Sun,  who  would  sooner  see  his  whole  village  perish 
than  sacrifice  that  young  man,  the  bravest  of  all  his  na- 
tion ;  that  besides,  he  had  among  those  detained  by  him, 
the  four  murderers  of  the  French,  and  might  bring  them 
to  justice.    Bienville  at  once  had  them  brought  up :  they

^7'3-25-   attempted    to  deny  the  fact,  but  were  convicted,  and 
'  -^^  "-'  their  brains  dashed  out  with  clubs.    Among  them  was 
one  chief  so  notorious  throughout  the  country  for  his  cru- 
elties and  acts  of  treachery,  that  all  the  nations  had  long 
desired  his  death.* 
He  makes      This  expedition  ended,  a  consultation  was  held  on  the 
^^hera!"'*  naost  expedient  course  in  the  actual  conjuncture,  and  it 
was  unanimously  decided,  that  as  the  Natchez,  if  driven  to 
extremes,  were  able  to  interrupt  the  navigation  of  the 
river  and  all  communication  with  the  Illinois,  it  was  better 
to  profit  by  the  terror  which  we  had  succeeded  in  inspir- 
ing, to  make  an  advantageous  peace  with  them,  and  to 
ofifer  as  a  favor  the  fol^'^wing  conditions  : 

1.  That  they  should  erect  at  their  own  expense,  and  in  a 
place  to  be  assigned  in  their  great  village,  a  fort  with 
storehouses  and  barracks  necessary  for  the  garrison  and 
the  storekeepers  to  be  established  there.  2.  That  they 
should  restore  all  the  goods  taken  from  the  French,  and 
make  full  reparation  for  all  the  other  losses  which  they 
had  caused.  3.  That  the  Great  Chiefs  nephew,  of  whom 
complaint  wa's  made,  should  not  appear  in  the  village,  un- 
der the  penalty  of  having  his  head  broken.  These  articles 
were  read  to  the  deputies,  who  approved  them,  and  Mr.  de 
Failloux  was  dispatched  with  twenty  men  to  have  them 
ratified  by  the  Great  Chief.' 

He  entered  the  village  with  drams  beating  and  ensign 
unfurled ;  the  whole  tribe,  who  loved  the  French,  came  out 
to  meet  him,  and  received  him  with  great  acclamations. 
He  went  directly  to  the  Sun's  cuhin  and  presented  to  him 
:he  conditions  of  peace :  the  chief  accepted  them,  and 
said  that  he  simply  awaited  Mr.  de  Bienville's  orders  to 
begin  work  on  the  fort:  and  on  this  reply,  which  was 
communicated  to  the  commandant,  he  came  up  from  the

followed  by  all  his  towM,  received  him  as  he  disembarked  '""'"^''""^ 
from  bis  canoe. 

The  next  day  he  selected  the  spot  where  he  wished  the  g,tabUghed 
fort  erected ;  it  was  laid  out  at  once,  and  de  Pailloux  ap- 
pointed to  superintend  the  work.  It  was  completed  at  the 
end  of  six  weeks,  and  Bienville,  who  had  returned  to  his 
camp  at  the  Tonicas,  came  up  with  all  the  French  to  take 
possession.  He  added  quarters  for  the  officers,  barracks 
for  the  soldiers  and  magazines  both  for  merchandise  and 
for  ammunition  and  army  stores. 

The  fort  was  named  BosaUe,  after  Madame  de  Pont- 
chartrain,  wife  of  the  Chancellor,  a  name,  as  I  have  else- 
where observed,  already  proposed  by  Mr.  d'Iberville  for  a 
city  which  he  designed  founding  at  this  very  spot.  The 
Natchez  then  sang  the  calumet  to  Mr.  de  Bienville,'  who 
spent  all  the  rest  of  that  year,  1714'  at  Bosalie.  Before 
leaving  it,  he  placed  the  Sieur  de  Pailloux  in  command, 
assigning  to  him  du  Tisn^  as  Ueutenant.  He  proceeded 
at  once  to  Maubile,  where  he  remained  only  long  enough 
to  prepare  a  great  convoy,  which  he  himself  conducted  to 
the  Natchez. 

It  was  about  the  same  time  that  Mr.  de  Saint  Denys 
arrived  at  Maubile,  and  as  the  reply  which  he  bore  from 
the  Viceroy  of  New  Spain  deprived  de  la  Motte  Cadillac 
of  all  hope  of  carrying  on  trade  with  the  Spaniards 
openly,  he  thought  it  his  duty  to  prevent  their  approach- 
ing too  closely  to  us,  as  they  seemed  bent  on  doing ;  with 
this  view,  he  dispatched  the  Sieur  du  Tisn^  to  build  a 
fort  on  the  Island  of  the  Natchitoches.  Scarcely  was 
this  fort  completed  when  du  Tisn^  was  informed  that  the 
Spaniards  had  estabUshed  a  post  among  the  Assinais, 
and  there  was  every  reason  to  believe  that  they  designed 
to  push  on  to  the  Micissipi,  had  they  not  been  prevent-

by  the  trade  of  a  colony,  it  must  be  peopled,  and  the 
inhabitants  made  consumers  of  the  goods  sent  there,  giv- 
ing in  return.     This  cannot  be  attained  without  great  out- 
lay.   Those  engaged  in  such  enterprises  must  select  care- 
fully  the  men    to  whom    they    confide    their  interests. 
Nothing  of  this  was  done,  and  all  parties  suffered. 

To  understand  well  what  the  sequel  of  this  history 
obliges  me  to  say  on  this  point,  we  must  go  back  a  little, 
and  state  more  in  detail  the  actual  position  of  Louysiana, 
when  Crozat  obtained  the  privilege  above  mentioned,  and 
the  position  when  he  renounced  that  privilege.  In  1712 
there  were  in  all  that  province  only  twenty-eight  French 
families,  not  half  of  them  engaged  in  cultivating  the  soil, 
or  properly  styled  settlers;  the  rest  were  traders,  inn- 
keepers and  mechanics  not  permanently  settled  in  any 
place. 

Trade  was  then  conducted  only  at  Maubile  and  Isle 
Dauphine,  and  the  only  articles  were  planks,  bear,  deer 
and  cat-skins  and  other  like  furs.  The  voyageurs  or 
bushlopers,  almost  all  Cansidians,  went  to  the  Indians,  to 
barter  such  French  goods  as  t^  '>y  could  get,  for  peltries 


St.  Denyv  was  on  good  terms 
with  his  Si>aDisb  neighbors,  and  as 
Spanish  authorities  shovf,  rendered 
them  good  service.  Bonilla  sajs 
he  facilitated  the  entrance  of  the 
Spaniards  into  Texas,  and  by  his 
amiable  manners  won  the  Indians, 
and  gave  the  most  constant  proob 
of  his  good  faith.  Tet  the  Spanish 
government  ordered  him  to  be  car- 
ried off  to  Guatemala,  and  Ramon 
tc  be  removed  from  the  frontifer,  a 


disgrace  which  the  latter  escapee* 
by  death  in  1734,  having  l>een 
kill^  by  the  Indians.  Bonilla,  Com-

and  slaves,  which  they  then  sold  to  the  settlers;  these  i7i(S-25* 
last  sold  the  peltries  again  to  the  Spaniards  at  Pensa-  "■"'"■' 
cola,  or  the  vessels  which  occasionally  came  from  France, 
and  they  employed  these  slaves  in  clearing  the  ground,  or 
sawing  planks,  for  which  they  found  a  market  sometimes 
at  Peusacola,  mor  >  frequently  at  Martinique  or  St.  Do- 
mingo. They  obtained  from  these  colonies  in  exchange, 
sugar,  tobacco,  cacao  and  French  goods  when  there  had 
been  a  long  delay  in  receiving  them  direct. 

They  also  carried  to  Pensacola,  where  the  Spaniards 
had  cleared  no  land,  vegetables,  Indian  corn,  poultry,  and 
in  general,  all  the  products  of  their  industry  which  their 
less  ingenious  and  less  laborious  neighbors  needed.  All 
this  brought  in  a  little  money,  with  which  they  purchased 
what  they  were  obliged  to  obtain  from  abroad :  it  was  not 
enough  to  enrich  them,  but  they  had  quite  an  easy  life. 
They  had  also  learned  that  the  country  would  produce 
tobacco,  indigo,  cotton  and  silk,  but  there  were  no  hands 
for  all  these  crops ;  there  was  no  one  in  the  colony  who 
could  aid  them,  or  who  thought  of  encouraging  them; 
they  did  not  even  know  the  method  of  cultivating  these 
plants. 

Moreover,  the  colony  was  by  no  means  solidly  estab- 
lished, so  that  there  was  always  a  fear  that  the  King 
would  abandon  it,  and  all  the  care  and  pains  they  might 
take  would  be  lost.  Many  even  retired  elsewhere,  and 
others  remained  only  because  they  lacked  means  to  go. 
It  is  astonishing  that  Mr.  Crozat,  when  acquiring  the  do- 
main of  Louysiana  with  the  exclusive  right  to  trade  for 
twenty-five  years,  did  not  inform  himself  of  the  real  state 
of  things,  so  as  to  form  his  plans  on  these  necessary 
data :  but  it  is  quite  ordinary  on  these  occasions  to  dis- 
trust the  very  persons  from  whom  the  most  correct  infor- 
mation can  be  •obtained,  and  whose  experience  fits  them  ' 
most  to  second  a  new  enterprise.  It  is  feared  that  they 
will  sacrifice  the  new  proprietary's  interests  to  their  own, 
and  men  do  not  reflect  that  the  surest  way  to  succeed  in 
such  aff^airs  is  to  interest  those  who  are  most  versed  in  it,

1716-36.  BO  that  tbey  shall  see  their  own  advantage  in  the  snooess 
of  the  enterprise. 

This  Mr.  Orozat  failed  to  do,  and  he  did  not  under- 
stand that  nothing  can  be  derived  from  a  country,  how 
good  soever  it  may  be,  when  the  settler  is  not  allowed  to 
grow  richer.  Scarcely  had  he  taken  possession  of  his  ex- 
clusive trade,  when  the  vessels  from  the  West  Indies 
ceased  to  appear  in  Louysiana.  At  the  same  time  the 
settlers  were  forbidden  to  go  to  Pensacola,  the  very 
source  whence  all  the  money  came  that  was  current  in  the 
colony,  or  to  sell  anything  whatever  except  to  Crozat's 
agents,  who  thus  found  themselves  in  a  position  to  put  on 
the  colonial  products  such  values  as  they  chose  ;  a  power 
which  they  did  not  fail  to  abuse ;  at  last  they  rated  pel- 
tries so  low,  that  the  hunters,  finding  it  more  profitable 
to  dispose  of  them  in  Canada  and  the  English  colonies, 
carried  them  all  there. 

By  pursuing  just  the  opposite  course,  Crozat's  company 
would  have  acquired  credit  and  secured  the  confidence  of 
the  colonists,  after  which  it  might  have  led  them  to  its 
object,  when  it  had  increased  their  number  and  induced 
them  to  derive  from  their  country  all  that  it  could  pro- 
duce. But  by  cutting  them  off  from  the  little  vein  of  sil- 
ver flowing  in  from  Pensacola,  by  depressing  the  price  of 
their  products  and  wares,  by  fettering  their  commerce, 
which  they  understood  far  better  than  the  company,  and 
the  product  of  which  would  have  flowed  back  to  the  com- 
pany itself,  by  raising  the  price  of  what  they  were 
obliged  to  draw  from  France,  it  left  them  unable  to  sub- 
sist, and  still  more  to  make  their  lands  available. 

This  decline  of  Louysiana  trade  and  cultivation  could 
not  but  prove  highly  injurious  to  the  King  "^Iso,  if  we  re- 
flect that  after  the  twenty-five  years  for  which  Crozat's 
monopoly  was  to  last,  the  colony  would  be  found  less  ad- 
vanced than  it  was  when  granted  to  him,  and  his  majesty 
was  not  compensated  by  the  fifty  tons  freight  which  the 
company  was  bound  to  give  him  on  its  vessels.  The 
£ing  indeed  thus  saved  the  expense  of  a    hip,  which  be

voold  have  had  to  send  to  Louysiana,  to  carry  over  all   17 ^^-i^- 
reqaired  for  the  subsistence  of  the  troops ;  but  there  was   -^t^' 
a  more  natural  way  of  saving  this,  or  rather  of  meeting 
this  expense  by  the  freight,  which  the  vessel  would  be 
sure  to  find  at  Saint  Domingo. 

This  would  only  require  the  fitting  out  of  a  170  ton 
frigate  every  year,  or  one  of  those  two  decked  English 
galleys,  which,  for  all  their  having  a  large  hold,  are  still 
good  sailers,  and  managed  by  a  small  crew,  on  account  of 
the  lightness  of  their  movements.  In  fact,  I  say  nothing 
here,  except  after  a  detailed  memoir  transmitted  at  the 
time  to  the  minister  by  Mr.  Duclos,  who,  as  already  no- 
ted, succeeded  Mr.  d'Artaguette  in  the  office  of  Com- 
missaire  Ordonnateur  in  Louysiana,  and  who  subse- 
quently held  the  same  office  at  Cap  Francois  in  Saint 
Domingo,  where  he  acted  so  well  during  the  troubles  that 
occurred  in  that  colony  in  1723,  and  who  was  soon  after 
appointed  Intendant  of  the  Leeward  Isles. 

Crozat  saw  the  damage  which  his  monopoly  did  to  the 
King's  interests  sooner  than  he  did  the  injury  he  inflicted  nropoai- 
on  the  people  of  Louysiana.  This  obliged  him  to  make  compiniuu. 
new  propositions  to  his  majesty  on  the  5th  of  July,  1714, 
with  the  view  of  enabling  the  officers,  soldiers  and  other 
employees,  whom  the  King  maintained  in  the  colony,  to 
receive  their  pay  more  promptly,  as  well  as  consignments 
of  goods  and  munitions,  either  for  public  works,  or  for 
keeping  up  the  forts,  or  for  the  presents  annually  made  to 
the  Indians,  and  the  propositions  were  accepted.  He  had 
some  months  previously  presented  other  memoirs  full  of 
complaints  on  various  topics,  and  which  disclose  the  fact 
that  great  complaints  were  made  in  Louysiana  against  his 
monopoly. 

His  complaints  were .  1.  That  the  weakness  of  the  French 
in  that  colony  drew  on  them  the  contempt  of  the  Indians, 
and  left  them  unable  to  prevent  those  savages  from  con- 
stantly making  war  on  each  other,  the  result  of  which 
was,  that  it  was  impossible  to  establish  any  kind  of  trade 
in  the   country,  nor  consequently  to  send  ships  from

^  ^^"^'  fit.  2.  That  the  English  were  coining  very  near  the 
French,  who  cantoned  on  the  Maubile  River  and  Dauphin 
Island,  where  the  lamls  are  worthless,  left  open  to  the 
English  all  the  banks  of  the  Mioissipi,  where  nothing 
prevented  their  settling,  and  then  penetrating  to  New 
Mexico  and  New  Biscay :  this  was  a  general  complaint 
among  intrlligeut  persons.  3.  That  the  indifiference  mani- 
fested in  France  for  Louysiana  was  inexplicable.  Mr. 
Crozat  did  not  hesitate  to  aver  that  if  the  advantages 
to  be  derived  from  it  were  considered,  there  was  no  colo- 
ny which  it  was  more  important  for  the  state  to  preserve 
and  extend.  The  maritime  commerce,  said  he,  is  almost 
reduced  to  nothing.  Yet  it  is  only  by  the  voyages  of 
merchantmen  in  time  of  peace  that  sailors  are  formed, 
whom  the  King  can  employ  in  his  naval  forces  when  war 
is  declared.  Hence  it  is,  as  a  general  thing,  important  to 
extend  navigation,  and  by  the  different  settlements  which 
might  be  made  in  Louysiana,  there  is  hope,  if  the  work  is 
seriously  begun,  that  the  commerce  of  that  country  will 
in  a  few  years  employ  a  considerable  number  of  ships. 
So  well  are  the  EngUsh  convinced  of  the  importance  of 
the  Louysiana  colony,  that  it  is  only  necessary  to  ask  the 
Marshal  d'Uxelles  what  he  heard  them  say  at  Utrecht 
about  our  settlement  on  the  Micissippi.  Their  conduct 
since  that  time  justifies  day  by  day  what  the  memoir  put 
forward  on  this  point.  4.  And  this  is  Crozat's  worst 
complaint,  and  at  the  same  time  his  reply  to  the  objec- 
tions made  him  that  after  undertaking  with  the  King  to 
colonize  Louysiana  and  establish  there  all  kinds  cf  trade, 
of  which  he  admitted  it  was  capable,  it  was  nevertheless 
in  a  worse  condition  than  when  he  took  control  of  it.  He 
complained  that  they  had  refused  to  register  his  Letters 
Patent  in  the  Council  of  that  province ;  that  all  parties 
opposed  it,  and  that  this  opposition  was  fomented  by  the 
officers,  accustomed  to  trade  with  the  Spaniards.' 
It  was  apparently  in  the  endeavor  to  bring  the  troops  to

his  Bide  that  he  made  to  the  King  the  proposals  contained   i7><^-3^* 
iu  the  memoir  already  mentioned ;  but  as  his  a£fairs  did  '~^  ^~^' 
not  improve  after  this  step,  he  waited  till  the  term  of  his       He 
privilege  expired,  in  the  following  year,  1717,  and  then  •""^''iJ'*" 
surrendered    it    to  the    King.     Then  it    was  that  that  P^iV'^fn^g^ 
famous  Western  Company  was  formed,  which,  under  the  Jj!in"e}»"(t 
direction  of  Law,  gradually  took  iu  hand  almost  all  the    yy°^^^^ 
internal  and  exterior  commerce  of  the  kingdom,  and  from  Coinpanor. 
the  bosom  of  which  sprang  the  now  flourishing  India 
Company,"  the  only  one  that  has  succeeded  in  France 
since  the  foundation  of  the  monarchy.     The  Letters  Pat- 
ent of  the  former,  in  the  form  of  an  edict,  entitled  "  Es- 
tablishment of  Trade  under  the  name  of  the   Western 
Company,"  registered  iu  the  parliament  on  the  6tli  of  Sep- 
tember in  the  same  year,  declared  that  his  majesty  grants 
to  the  said  company  for  twenty-five  years  : 

1st,  The  commerce  of  Canada  on  condition  of  extend- 
ing cultivation  and  plantations. 

2d,  To  carry  on  exclusively  for  the  space  of  twenty-five 
years,  counting  from  the  day  of  registration,  trade  in  the 
province  and  jurisdiction  of  Louysiana,  and  in  perpetuity 
all  the  lands,  ports,  coasts,  harbors  and  islands  which 
composed  that  province,  to  enjoy  in  all  property,  seignory 
and  justice,  reserving  to  himself  no  right  or  duty,  except 
simple  fidelity  and  liege  homage,  which  the  said  company 
shall  be  bound  to  render  him ;  and  to  his  successors,  at 
every  change  of  king,  with  a  gold  crown  weighing  thirty 
marks.  And  it  is  well  to  note  here,  that  by  another 
Enactment  of  the  27th  of  said  month  of  September, 
the  Illinois  country  was  detached  from  the  jurisdiction  of 
New  France,  and  incorporated  with  that  of  Louysiana. 

3d,  The  power  to  treat  and  form  aUiances  in  his  majes- 
ty's name,  throughout  the  grant,  with  all  the  nations  of 
the  country,  not  dependent  on  other  European  powers, 
and  in  case  of  insult,  to  declare  war  against  them,  treat  of 
peace  or  truce.

the  latter.  They  had  arrived  at  Dauphin  Island'  in  the 
month  of  March  of  that  year,  and  some  months  after  the 
Western  Company  appointed  Mr.  de  Bienville  Command- 
ant General  of  all  the  province.  His  commission  bore  date 
September  20th,  but  he  did  not  receive  it  or  take  pos- 
session till  the  ensuing  year.  Mr.  de  I'Epinai  had  come 
with  three  ships,  bringing  many  officers,  a  great  number 
of  soldiers,  a  supply  of  ammunition,  and  provisions  and 
merchandise  of  all  kinds.  All  was  discharged  at  the 
storehouses  on  Dauphin  Island  except  the  goods  which 
were  in  the  Dudlow,  commanded  by  Mr.  de  Golleville, 
whose  orders  were  to  proceed  to  Vera  Cruz  to  dispose  of 
them.  This  captain,  learning  what  had  befallen  Mr.  de

at  that  port  five  years  before,  did  not  deem  it  prudent  to

soon  dashed  by  an  unforeseen  accident  which  disconcerted  ciof«fc 
1  is  plans  and  rendered  useless  all  the  money  just  expend- 
ed on  Dauphin  Island.  Towards  the  end  of  August,  the 
mouth  of  the  only  harbor  on  the  island  was  closed  by  a 
prodigious  collection  of  sand  heaped  up  there  by  a  hurri- 
cane. The  island  itself  was  almost  entirely  inundated, 
and  many  of  the  cattle  were  drowned.* 

A  new  roadstead  had  to  be  sought  for  the  ships,  and 
Isle  Surgoro  was  selected,  afterwards  called  Isle  aux 
Yaisseanz — Ship  Island.  It  has,  however,  only  one  road- 
stead, a  tolerably  good  one,  except  when  the  wind  blows 
from  the  north,  or  northwest,  but  these  winds  are  rare 
there,  and  not  violent.  To  protect  the  ships,  a  small  fort 
was  bnilt  on  the  Ih^  ud,  and  the  Dauphin  Island  estab- 
lishment was  transferred  to  Biloxi,  north  of  Ship  Island, 
though  ships  cannot  approach  within  four  leagues  of  it. 

Nothing  shows  more  clearly  how  we  then  confined  our- 
selves to  the  trade  that  might  be  carried  on  with  the 
Spaniards,  than  this  new  post :  for  the  soil  of  Biloxi  is  no 
better  than  that  of  Dauphin  Island,  and  that  post  has 
not  even  a  roadstead  for  the  smaller  brigantines.  It  is 
inconceivable  how  they  could  dream  of  placing  the  centre

1716-36.  ^£  j^  color.7  on  sterile  sands,  unapproachable  to  anything 
bnt  sloops ;  unable  to  defend  the  shipping  or  be  defended 
by  it ,  yet  it  was  left  there  for  five  whole  years. 

It  was,  nevertheless,  this  same  year  that  the  founda- 
tions were  laid  of  the  capital  of  Louysiana,  under  the 
name  of  New  Orleans.  Mr.  de  Bienville  having  come 
from  Natchez  to  Maubile  to  salute  the  new  Governor,  told 
him  that  he  had  remarked  on  the  banks  of  the  river  a  site 
well  fitted  for  a  post,  and  Mr.  de  I'Epinai  entrusted  him 
with  Us  establishment ;  he  gave  him  eight  salt  smugglers, 
just  arrived  from  France,  with  carpenters,  to  build  some 
houses  there.  He  at  the  same  time  commanded  Captain 
Blondel  to  relieve  Mr.  de  Pailloux  at  Natchez,  the  latter 
officer  recoiviitj.;^  orders  to  join  Mr.  de  Bienville  and  aid 
him  in  his  ent«i-prise,  which  was  not  carried  out  to  any 
great  extent  at  thv"  time.  Mr.  de  Pailloux  was  made 
Governor  of  the  rising  city.  In  my  Journal  I  have  no- 
ted the  drawbacks  of  its  situation.' 

In  the  early  part  of  the  following  year,  they  at  last 
thought  of  sounding  the  mouth  of  the  Micissipi,  to  see 
whether  ships  could  enter  with  all  their  cargo  on  board, 
and  sixteen  feet  of  wattir  were  found  on  the  bar.  The 
Neptune,*  juFt  arrived  from  France,  was  at  once  sent 
there,  and  it  asceuded  without  any  difficulty  to  New  Or- 
leans. It  is  astonishing,  that  after  this  experiment  men 
did  not  open  their  eyes  to  the  importance  of  making  it  at 
once  the  headquarters,  and  that  so  many  thousand  men 
were  left  to  waste  with  misery  and  disease  under  the  pre> 
text  that  there  were  not  batteaux  enough  to  transport 
them  to  their  destination,  when  the  very  ships  that 
brought  them  from  France  might  have  landed  them  at 
New  Orleans,  and  even  nearer  to  their  concessions.

fllSTORT  OF  NSW  FRANCE.  4 

It  was  in  the  month  of  March  ensuing  that  the  colony     1718. 
saw  the  first  Oonoessionaries  arrive.    The  Sieur  Dague  ""»"^ 
de  Boisbriand  accompanied  them,  bearing  the  orders  of  Arrival  of 
the  King,*  or  rather  of  the  Oompany,  which,  under  his 
majesty's  good  pleasure,  had  appointed  him  Commandant 
ut  the  Illinois,  Mr.  de  Bienville  Commandant-General  of 
Lonysiana  and  Director  of  the  Company,  and  Mr.  de 
Faillonz  Major-Qeueral.    De  Boisbriand  ascended  to  the 
Illinois  without  delay,  taking  with  him  Mr.  Diron  and  the 
Chevalier  d'Artaguette,  both  brothers  of  the  former  Com- 
missaire  Ordonnateur;  the  former   was  a  captain,   and 
eie  long  was  declared  Inspeotor-Qeneral  of  Louysiana; 
the  latter  was  a  lieutenant. 

At  the  same  time  several  Indian  tribes,  some  of  which 
Imd  long  seemed  hostile  to  the  French,  like  the  Chetima- 
cLas,  settled  on  the  Mioissippi,  quite  near  New  Orleans, 
and  as  most  of  these  tribes  are  accustomed  to  the  cultiva- 
tion of  the  soil,  they  cleared  large  tracts,  which  was  a  re- 
source for  the  city,  since  the  Indians  often  in  need  sup- 
plied it  with  provisions.  Some  of  the  Concessionaries  also 
8out  part  of  their  people  up  this  river,  and  the  advanta- 
ges they  found  there  for  settling  permanently,  made  all 
who  had  the  general  good  at  heart,  regret  that  the  other 
Concessionaries  were  prevented  from  adopting  the  same 
course.  The  uneasiness  at  first  entertained  in  regard  to 
the  English  had  vanished ;  all  the  tribes  bordering  on  the 
Micissipi  lived  on  very  good  terms  with  us,  and  the  only 
means  of  arming  ourselves  against  the  intrigues  of  the 
former  and  the  inconstancy  of  the  latter,  was  to  fortify 
and  people  the  colony.* 

In  the  month  of  June  of  this  same  year,  de  Bienville 
took  possession  of  St.  Joseph's  Bay,  fifty  leagues  east  of 
Dauphin  Island.'     His  brother,  Mr.  de  Chateangu^,  was

1718.     entrasted  with  this  expedition,  which  he  carried  out  with- 
-*  T  ^'  out  any  obstacle ;  he  then  erected  a  stone  fort  there.  The 
8L  Joseph'!  Spaniards  had  abandoned  this  post  eighteen  years  before ; 
occupied  by  ^^^  *^^  Govemor  of  Pensacola  was  no  sooner  informed  of 
and  atoost  ^^^^  ®  ^terprise,  than  he  wrote  to  Bienville  that  St.  Jo- 
du,te?y    seph's  Bay  belonged  to  the  Catholic  King.'    It  was  not 
abandoued.  worth  a  contest  with  that  crown,  and  Mr.  de  Chateauga^, 
who  had  taken  possession  of  it,  did  not  doubt  for  a  mo- 
ment that  it  would  soon  have  to  be  abandoned,  as  in  fact 
it  was  the  next  year.    The  reasons  which  brought  Mr.  de 
Bienville  and  the  Company  to  this  were :  Ist,  That  the 
post  is  useless,  not  only  on  account  of  its  great  distance 
and  want  of  security  for  ships  there,  but  chiefly  on  ac- 
count of   the  impossibility  of   defending  the  entrance, 
which  is  more  than  a  good  league  in  width.    2nd,  That 
it  is  extremely  inconvenient,  both  in  regard  to  the  diffi- 
culty of  landing  reinforcements,  for  you  have  to  wait  for 
the  proper  moment,  which  frequently  will  not  occur  for  a 
week,  or  even  a  fortnight ;  and  on  account  of  the  sterility 
of  the  soil,  which  for  more  than  four  leagues  around  is 
nothing  but  bare  sand,  and  on  account  of  the  insalubrity 
of  the  air,  which  in  all  that  country  is  very  unhealthy,  all 
our  soldiers  having  been  very  sick  there.     This  occa- 
sioned many  desertions,  which  there  was  no  way  to  pre- 
vent.   3rd,  That  the  vessels  are  not  sheltered  there  from 
4ny  wind,  and  the  viiter  to  be  found  there  is  very  oad. 
Description      What  occurred  the ,  following  year  in  this  colony  will

their  hands  to  establish  a  powerful  colony.  In  the  month  >7i9> 
of  February,  1719,  de  Serigny  arrived  in  Louysiana  with 
three  ships,'  announced  that  war  was  declared  with 
Spain,  and  showed  the  orders  he  had  received  to  take 
Fensacola.  The  bay  which  bears  that  name  was,  accord- 
ing to  the  Spaniards,  first  discovered  by  Pamphilo  du 
Narvaez,'  who  landed  there  in  his  unhappy  Florida  expe- 
dition.' Subsequently,  Diego  de  Maldonado,  one  of  Her- 
nando de  Soto's  captains,  rediscovered  it  and  gave  it  the 
name  of  Port  of  Anchusi.*  In  1558,  Don  Tristan  de 
Luna  named  it  Saint  Mary's  Bay,"  and  in  1693,  Don  An- 
dres de  Pes,  General  of  the  Barlovento  fleet,  haviug  gone 
to  explore  it,  added  to  tL:  last  name  that  of  Galve,  in 
honor  of  the  Count  of  Qalve,  then  Viceroy  of  Mexico.* 
Accordingly  among  Spaniards,  the  bay  is  known  only  un- 
der the  name  of  Santa  Maria  de  Galve.  And  the  name  of 
Fensacola,  that  of  the  native  inhabitants  of  the  spot,  who 
have  been  destroyed  by  other  Indians,  is  retained  by  the 
province,  to  which  the  Spaniards  assign  a  very  great 
extent.' 

In  1696,  Don  Andres  de  Arriola  having  been  appoint-    .^  ^^^ 
ed  first  Governor  of  this  province,  proceeded  to  take  pos-  taken  from 
session,  and  on  the  Bay  of  Santa  Maria  de  Galve,  built  a  Spaniards.

1719-  this  state  in  1719,  when  Mr.  de  Serigny  laid  siege  to  it ; 
the  Western  Oompanj  having  seized  the  opportunity  of 
the  rupture  between  the  two  crowns  to  obtain  the  only 
port  there  is  iu  all  the  northern  coast  of  Florida,  from  the 
Bahama  Channel  to  the  Micissipi.  De  Serigny  began 
by  convening  a  great  council  of  war,  the  decision  of 
which  was,  that  Messrs.  de  Bienville  and  de  Chateau- 
gue,  his  brothers,  should  summon  to  Maubile  all  the  In- 
dian allies,  all  the  French  settlers,  voyageurs  and  con- 
cessionaries, and  lead  them  overland  to  Fensacola,  while 
the  three  vessels,'  after  taking  on  board  a  hundred  and 
fifty  soldiers,  should  enter  the  bay.  All  this  was  carried 
out  with  great  secrecy  and  diligence. 

On  the  14th  of  May,  at  ten  o'clock  in  the  morning, 
Mr.  de  Serigny  entered  the  bay:  Don  Juan  Pedro  de 
Matamoros,'  Governor  of  Fort  San  Carlos,  who  was  not 
in  a  condition  to  resist,  had  just  sent  to  Don  Gregorio  de 
Salinas,  Governor  of  St.  Joseph,  to  a&k  him  for  assist- 
ance ;  but  he  had  no  time  to  receive  it.  Serigny  began 
by  opening  a  brisk  fire,  and,  although  it  lasted  five  hours, 
the  Spaniards  pretend  to  have  had  only  one  man  killed.' 
The  fire  having  ceased,  the  Governor  sent  an  infantry  cap- 
tain to  know  from  the  French  commandant,  the  cause  of 
so  unforeseen  a  hostility.  De  Serigny  sent  this  officer 
back  with  a  French  captain,  who  informed  Don  Juan 
that  war  had  been  declared  and  published  in  France  on 
tl  14th  of  January,  and  summoned  him  to  surrender  the 
place.  The  Governor,  by  the  advice  of  his  council,  asked 
till  next  day  to  answer,  and  he  obtained  the  delay  ;  but

whom  he  had,  with  no  hope  of  receiving  in  season  the  re- 
inforcements he  had  solicited,  it  was  impossible  to  resist 
six  hundred  men  who  attacked  him  by  sea,  and  seven 
hundred  who  were  coming  by  land,  he  deemed  it  prudent 
to  try  and  obtain  favorable  terms,  rather  than  risk  the 
consequence  of  a  useless  resistance.  Hence,  the  same 
day,  before  the  expiration  of  the  term  granted  him,  he  oa< 
pitulated  on  the  following  conditions  : 

1st,  That  two  vessels  should  be  furnished  him,  provi- 
sioned to  go  to  Havana.  2nd,  That  the  Spaniards 
should  take  with  them  neither  arms  nor  munitions  of  war. 
drd,  That  all  hostilities  should  cease  for  a  week  after  the 
departure  of  the  garrison,  and  in  case  of  their  putting 
back,  for  a  week  more.' 

As  soon  as  this  capitulation  was  signed  by  the  two 
commandants,  the  garrison  on  the  15th  marched  forth  and 
encamped  outside.  Mr.  de  Chateaugue  entered  with 
three  hundred  n:en,  and  began  by  making  an  inventory  of 
all  he  found  there.  On  the  18th  of  June,  the  Governor 
of  Pensaoola  sailed  for  Havana  with  four  hundred  Span- 
iards on  the  Comte  de  Toulouse  and  the  Marechal 
Yillars,  commanded  by  Mr.  Mecuin  and  the  Chevalier 
de  Grieu.'  These  two  ships  were  attacked  ofif  the  coast 
of  Cuba  by  English  privateers,  who,  not  perceiving 
the  superiority  of  their  antagonists  until  they  were  so 
engaged  that  they  could  not  easily  escape,  sont  to 
apologize  to  the  commandants  for  mistaking  t1>em  for 
Spaniards.'  This  might  be  ;  but  it  is  well  kuo.vn  that 
such  mistakes  are  so  common  with  the  English,  that  we 
would  be  justified  in  not  always  overlooking  them. 

Meanwhile,  Don  Gregorio  Gua§o,  the  commander  at 
Havana,  had  just  seut  out  a  fleet  under  Don  Alphonso 
Carrascosa  de  la  Torre,  to  expel  the  English  from  Fort

1719-     St.  George,'  in  Carolina,  promising  himself  nothing  less 
*'^"^'^  than  the  conquest  of  all  that  province.    Some  time  after 
The  French  to  discemed  the  two  French  frigates,  and  at  once  dis- 
tonduct  the  Patched  a  barque  to   Don  Alphonso,  to  order  him  to 
^Ivftna*"  O'ttack  them.     The  French  commandants,  on  their  side, 
seeing  a  whole  fleet  bearing  down  upon  ♦;hem,  wore  ;  but 
the  wind  suddenly  falling,  thej  took  heart  from  the  fact 
that  as  they  carried  the  Qovernor  and  garrison  of  Pensa- 
cola,  the  capitulation  of  that  place  should  serve  as  a  safe 
conduct.    The  memoir  which  I  found  on  this  afl'air  in 
the  D^pot  de  la  Marine,  says  that  the  Spanish  comman- 
dant demanded  that  the  French  should  restore  to  him  all 
(hose  of  his  nation  who  were  on  their  ships ;  that  they  re- 
fused, and  that  on  thip.  .refusal,  the  fleet  turned  towards 
Havana   and  obliged  them  to  enter  the  port  with  it, 
though  they  did  not  wish  to  go  in.    The  Spanish  histo- 
rian avers,  on  the  contrary,  that  Garrascosa  put  a  guard 
on  board  the  two  French  frigates,  ana  entered  Havana  with 
his  fleet  and  the  two  prizes  to  receive  his  general's  orders.* 
Tbe         Be  that  as  it  may,  Don  Oregorio  Guafo,  postponing 
P^rapu'e'to  ^^^  Carolina  expedition  to  some  other  season,  thought  he 
Penwcou.  sliould  begin  by  recapturing  Pensacola  ;  he  even  thought 
it  his  duty  to  reinforce  his  fleet  with  all  the  garrison  of 
that  place,  with  a  hundred  and  fifty  men  drawn  from  the 
forts  at  Havana,  and  with  a  number  of  volunteers,  whom 
the  hope  of  conquering  all  Louysiana,  enticed  to  take 
part  in  this  expedition.    He  retained  the  two  frigates  to 
employ  them  in  conveying  the  French  to  San  Domingo 
and  Cumana,  Lad  to  carry  to  those  two  cities  the  provi- 
sions of  whijh  they  stood  in  the  greatest  need.    He  at 
the  same  time  dispatched  to  the  Marquis  de  Valero,'

Viceroy  of  Mexico,  a  light  barque,  to  beg  him  to  order  Don 
Francisco  Cornejo,  commandant  of  the  Barloyento  Fleet, 
who  was  then  at  Vera  Cruz,  to  proceed  to  join  Garrt\sco- 
sa  at  Pensacola  as  soon  as  he  heard  of  that  command- 
ant's arrival  in  Florida.  The  Viceroy  had  anticipated 
him :  informed  of  the  capture  of  Pensacola  by  the  Gov- 
ernor of  Saint  Joseph,  and  warned  by  a  Franciscan 
Father,  who  was  in  that  place  when  it  surrendered  to  de 
Serigny,  that  the  French  had  undertaken  its  capture  only 
with  the  view  of  penetrating  to  New  Mexico,  he  had  at 
once  dispatched  couriers  to  all  the  ports  of  New  Spain, 
with  orders  to  all  vessels  and  mariners  whom  they  met,  to 
proceed  to  Vera  Cruz.  He  had  at  the  same  time  made  a 
levy  of  men  on  all  sides,  and  had  no  embarrassment  ex- 
cept to  find  shipping  enough  to  embark  all  this  force, 
when  Don  Francisco  Cornejo  entered  the  port  of  Vera 
Cruz  with  five  men-of-war  of  the  Barlovento  Fleet.  The 
Viceroy  ordered  him  to  prepare  to  sail  to  Pensacola,  but 
as  Cornejo  was  on  the  point  of  starting,  the  Viceroy  sent 
him  a  countermand,  to  defer  his  departure  till  he  had 
given  him  a  reinforcement. 

Meanwhile,  the  change  in  the  destination  of  the  Hava- 
na fleet  Lad  not  been  to  the  taste  of  all  who  had  em- 
barked in  it,  and  more  than  four  hundred  deserted  before 
it  sailed  out  of  port.  This  mishap  did  not  disconcert  the 
Governor;  he  trusted  that  the  valor  of  those  who  re- 
mained faithful  to  him  would  make  up  for  numbers,  and 
contented  himself  with  embarking  sixty  grenadiers  of  his 
garrison  in  place  of  the  deserters.  On  the  29th  of  June, 
Don  Alphonso  Carrascosa  set  sail,  having  in  all  only 
eight  hundred  and  fifty  men,  including  regulars,  volun- 
teers and  marines  on  twelve  vessels,  three  frigates,  and 
nine  bilanders.  As  soon  as  he  was  in  sight  of  Saint  Jo- 
seph, he  sent  Lieutenant-Colonel  Don  Bruno  de  Cavalle- 
ro  to  the  Governor  of  the  fort,  Don  Gregorio  de  Salinas, 
to  learn  from  him  the  actusd  situation  of  the  French  at 
Pensacola.    The  Governor  repUed  that  two  deserters  from

made  no  repairs  there,  nor  even  coreotod  material  for  tho 
purpose;  that  Suuta  Bosa  Island  and  Point  Siguon^n 
were  abandoned,  and  that  the  French  cummnndant,  he 
had  no  doubt,  would  be  obliged  to  surrender  at  the  firist 
auu-'mons. 

Ou  this  report,  Carrascosa  ran  up  to  within  half  a 
league  of  Feusaoola  Bay,'  and  anchoring  during  tliu 
night,  h'ent  off  a  detachment  of  a  hundred  men,  who,  with- 
out  aieoting  any  resistance,  took  possession  of  Point  Si- 
guen9a,  which  is  the  western  extremity  of  Santa  Bosa 
Island.  Fifty  soldiers  of  the  garrison  of  Pensaoola  im- 
modia'ely  came  in  and  surrendered,*  assuring  them  ttmt 
they  had  only  to  show  themselves,  to  become  masters  of 
the  fort;  that  all  the  French  who  were  shut  np  there 
were  good  servants  of  the  King  of  Spain,  and  would 
open  the  gates  as  soon  as  they  appeared.  This  .i^urrison 
had  been  very  badly  selected ;  it  was  composed  entirtij 
of  deserters,  salt  smugglers,  forced  emigrants  to  Lcuisiii- 
na  and  other  like  ruhhi.^.h,  wh  m  it  was  imprudent  to  col- 
lect in  too  large  a  body.  The  Spanish  commander  hiin- 
solf  also  entered  the  bay  ir  a  sloop,  to  iospect  the  real  state 
of  affairs.  He  saw  two  frigates,  and  had  perfect  leisure 
to  examine  them  ;  reconnoitred  the  furt  at  his  ease,  as  the 
oannon  fired  at  him  did  not  reach.  Betnrning  to  Point 
Siguen^a,  he  ordered  all  the  bilanders  tu  enter  the  port, 
and  as  soon  as  they  came  to  anchor,  they  opened  a  cau- 
r  JL^  ie  on  the  frigateb  and  fort.  The  two  frigates  replied 
briskly,  but  this  did  not  prevent  one  of  them  being 
boarded  and  taken.  The  crew  of  the  other  set  fire  to  it 
and  retired  within  the  fort,  which  was  at  once  invested  by 
all  the  bilanders.

The  firing  was  vigorous  ou  both  sides  all  day,  but  uot     '7i9' 
very  eflfective.    In  the  eveuiug,  Dou  Bvauo  Cavalloro  sent  '""^'^ 
to  summon  Mr.  de  Ghateaugue  to  surrender  as  u  priaouor  capture  or 
of  war,  with  all  his  garrison,  declaring  that  if  he  waited 
till  his  batteries  were  planted,  he  would  give  quarter  to 
none.     He  asked  till  ten  the  next  morning  to  decide,  and 
this  was  granted;  but  the  Spanish  commandant  occu- 
pied with  strung  detachments  all  the  passes  by  which  the 
Indians  could  come  to  the  relief  of  the  French.    Chu- 
teaugu^  was  bent  ou  resisting  to  the  last  extremity,  but 
his  soldiers  all  unanimously  declaring  that  they  would  not 
fight  against  the  Spaniards,  he  was  forced  to  surrender, 
and  at  the  hour  designated,  he  obtained  these  terms : 
That  he  should  march  out  of  his  fort  with  all  the  honors 
of  war,  and  be  conveyed  to  Spain.    Then  almost  all  the 
French  enlisted  in  the  Spanish  troops,  except  some  who 
were  thrown  into  the  holds  of   vessels,  tied  hand  and 
foot.    The  Qovemor,  his  lieutenant,  the  Director  of  the 
Company  and  all  the  officers,  were  paroled,  while  the  ves* 
sel  was  fitting  out  to  convey  them  to  Havana.'    That 
same  daj  Carrascosa  took  possession  of  the  fort,  which 
he  found  well  supplied  with  munitions  and  merchandise : 
he  restored  Don  Juan  Pedro  Matamoros  as  Governor, 
and  left  there  a  sufficient  garrison.* 

On  the  25th  of  August  he  dispatched  Captain  Don 
Francisco  Mendez  to  the  Viceroy  of  New  Spain,  to  bear 
tidings  of  the  success  of  his  enterprise,  and  that  officer 
found  Don  Francisco  Cornejo  still  at  Vera  Cruz  with  his 
squadron.  The  Marquis  de  Valero,  charmed  to  learn 
that  Fensacola  had  returned  to  the  rule  of  his  royal  mas- 
ter, at  once  ordered  Cornejo  to  set  sail  and  to  add  to  his 
squadron  the  ships  just  arrived  from  Havana  under  the 
command  of  Don  Francisco  Guerrero,  in  order  to  expel 
the  French  entirely  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.    Carrasco-

sa,  OQ  bib  side,  was  not  a  little  embarrasBed  in  appeasing 
a  mutiny  of  his  men,  especially  of  tbe  volunteers,  malcon- 
tent at  not  being  allowed  to  plunder  the  property  of  the 
French.  The  means  adopted  to  allay  the  tumult  was  to 
surrender  to  them  a  hundred  and  sixty  negroes  belonging  to 
the  Western  Company,  who  had  taken  refuge  in  an  Indian 
town ;  he  made  them  some  other  presents  also,  and  they 
seemed  satisfied.' 

He  then  thought  of  reducing  Dauphin  Island,  and  sent 
a  detachment  of  three  hundred  picked  men,  including  sev- 
eral Frenchmen,'  giving  the  command  to  Oaptain  Don 
Antonio  Mendieta,*  with  instructions  to  approach  the 
island  as  near  as  possible,  in  order  to  reconnoitre  the 
number  of  soldiers  and  Indians  who  defended  it.  Don 
Antonio  fulfilled  his  task  very  well.  Hs  iound  the  Phi- 
lippe, commanded  by  Mr.  de  Serigny,  in  the  roadstead, 
supported  by  four  good  batteries.* 

He  visited  the  whole  coast,  although  under  fire  from  all 
quarters ;  and  estimated  the  number  of  the  French  and 
their  allies  at  two  thousand.  He  then  entered  Maubile 
Biver,  and  approached  Fort  St.  Louis,  capturing  five 
boats  loaded  with  provisions  which  he  saw  coming  out ; 
but  tbe  French  in  his  party  having  landed  opposite  an 
isolated  house'  in  the  fields,  and  begun  to  plunder  it. 
Mr.  de  VilinviUe,  sent  by  de  Bienville  to  de  Serigny  with 
a  reinforcement  of  French  and  Indians,  discovered  them. 
He  first  detached  fifteen  Indians,  who  sut  off  their  route ; 
others  proceeded  to  hide  fiat  on  the  ground,  at  a  place 
which  they  would  have  to  pass  in  their  flight ;  these  did 
not  show  themsrlves  till  the  enemy  was  within  gun-shot, 
when  with  a  yell  they  began  tbe  fight.  The  enemy,  taken 
between  two  fires,  made  but  a  feeMe  resistance.  Fifteen 
were  killed  on  the  spot ;  eighteen  surrendered  as  prison-

era;  the  rest  took  to  the  water  to  reach  their  brigantine,     >7i9- 
and  some  of  them  were  drowned.    The  prisoners  were  all    -^  t^' 
French  deserters;  Yilinville  sent  them  to  Mr.  de  Blain- 
ville,  who,  for  want  of  hangmen  to  run  them  up,  toma- 
hawked seventeen,  and  sent  the  eighteenth  to  de  Serigny, 
who  hung  him.' 

While  this  was  going  on  in  Maubile  Biver,  Don  Este-    Berigny 
van  Berroa  set  sail  with  the  Mar^ohal  de  Villars  and  an-  *uf«XeD- 
other  ship,'  with  orders  to  attack  the  Philippe,  and  to  puuippt 
land  on  Dauphin  Island  all  Mendieta's  detachment,  and 
a  number  of  joldiers  whom  he  had  taken  on  board  for 
that  purpose ;  to  bum  the  town  if  possible,  so  as   to 
drive  off  the  Indians  and  force  them  to  leave  the  island ; 
in  a  word,  to  do  all  that  prudence  might  sugguHt  as  best 
for  the  service  of  the  King,  his  master.    He  also  bore  a 
summons  addressed  to  the  Captain  of  the  Philippe,  iu 
these  terms: 

Sir  :  I  send  you  my  boat  to  summon  you  to  surrender, 
and  not  injure  your  vessel ;  otherwise,  I  will  treat  you  as 
incendiaries,  and  show  no  quarter  to  any  one.  I  will  not 
even  spare  Mr.  de  Chateaugu^,  your  brother,  or  your 
friend,  who  is  in  my  power  with  the  garrison  of  Pensa- 
cola,  it  being  the  will  of  my  King,  Philip,  to  treat  with 
all  rigor  those  taken  with  arms  in  their  hands;  while 
those  who  surrender,  shall  meet  all  possible  leniency,  and 
receive  all  the  aid  they  need.' 

Mr.  de  Serigny  replied*  that  the  Spaniards  might 
attack  him  when  they  pleased,  and  that  he  was  ready  to 
receive  them.    In  fact,  besides  the  sixty  men  under  the

52  HISTORY  OF  NEW  FRANCE, 

17' 9-  Sieur  de  Vilinville,  who  joined  them  most  seasonal  ly,  a 
'"^'"^'  great  many  Indians  had  flocked  to  him  from  around  Mau- 
bile;  Mr.  de  Saint  Denys  brought  in  all  the  Biloxi  In- 
dians, and  the  Ooucessions  sent  him  every  man  able 
to  bear  arms.  Thus  Berroa  soon  perceived  that  it  would 
not  be  easy  to  succeed  in  his  enterprise.  As  soon  as  he 
joined  Mendieta,  he  learned  from  that  officer  that  the 
island  was  daily  filling  up  with  French  and  Indians,  all 
well  armed,  and  a  landing  was  nowhere  practicable. 
Repulse  ot  He  nevertheless  attempted  a  descent  on  the  little  Isle 
Sraniards  QuiUory,  which  is  almost  connected  with  Dauphin  Island ; 
igiand.  but  this  detachment  found  Canadians  and  Indians  there, 
who  repulsed  them,  killing  more  than  thirty  men.'  Two 
days  after,  the  commandant  having  embarked  on  the 
Mardchal  de  Yillars,  and  hoisted  the  great  royal  stand- 
ard of  Spain,  appeared  with  another  sL^p,  a  great  flibus- 
tier  boat,  carrying  ten  guns,  and  with  seven  sloops.  He 
approached  Dauphin  Island,  and  the  next  day  the  two 
ships  anchored  within  gun-shot  of  the  Philippe.  The 
sloops,  which  were  all  filled  with  soldiers,  and  the  great 
boat  at  the  same  time,  entered  the  port,  as  if  wittt  the  de- 
sign of  cannonading  the  town,  and  under  favor  of  their 
guns,  e£fecting  a  landing ;  but  they  found  all  the  French 
and  Indians  in  such  an  attitude,  that  they  durst  not  attempt 
anything.  They  renowed  the  same  manceuvre  for  foui- 
teen  days  in  succession,  sometimes  at  one  place,  and 
sometimes  at  another,  and  were  everywhere  forced  to  draw 
off  without  doing  anything.  Yet  there  were  oi  ithe  whole 
island  only  two  hundred  Indians,  and  fewer  anadians 
and  volunteers,  on  whom  Mr.  de  Serigny  could  depend. 
The  soldiers,  to  the  number  of  eighty  men,  were  of  the 
same  stamp  as  those  who  had  deserted  at  Fensacola,  and 
he  had  to  distrust  them  as  much  as  he  did  the  enemy. 

What  most  incommoded  the  Spaniards,  was  the  cannon 
of  the  Philippe,  which  was  anchored  within  pistol-shot  of 
the  land,  and  a  barbette  battery,  which  de  Serigny  had

planted  on  the  island,  and  which  prevented  their  vessels  ^7^9- 
from  approaching  near  enough  to  the  shore  to  favor  their  ^■"— v"~* 
lauding.  At  last,  on  the  26th,  they  weighed  anchor  and 
sailed  back  to  Pensacola.  The  extent  of  their  loss  could 
not  be  precisely  ascertained,  but  there  was  every  reason 
to  deem  it  considerable.  Their  greatest  error  was  their 
laclt  of  persistence,  for  had  they  continued  to  blockade 
Dauphin  Island  for  never  so  short  a  time,  they  would 
infallibly  have  taken  it.  The  besieged  had  been  sleeping 
on  the  sand  for  three  weeks,  and  could  scarcely  stand  any 
longer ;  most  of  them  were  actually  sick.' 

During  this  time  the  general  had  not  been  idle  or  free  ^^^ 
from  trouble.  He  had  wisely  deemed  it  necessary  to  Pensacoi*. 
build  a  fort  at  the  point  of  Santa  Bosa  Island,  to  defend 
tho  entrance  to  the  harbor ;  and  on  this  he  employed  all 
the  negroes  he  had  succeeded  in  taking  from  the  French. 
What  most  retarded  these  works  was  the  frequent  alarms 
given  to  Fort  St.  Charles  by  the  Indians  ;  and  when  the 
Go«rernor  wished  to  make  sorties  upon  them,  these  In- 
dians leaped,  says  the  Spanish  historian,  like  goats  on 
the  mountain  tup,  where  it  was  impossible  to  follow  them. 
This,  with  the  first  information  which  Carrascosa  received 
from  Don  Estevan  Berroa,  as  to  the  impossibility  of  tak- 
ing the  PhiUppe  and  landing  on  Dauphin  Island,  finally 
convinced  him  that  he  required  a  larger  force  to  put  an 
end  to  this  war.  A  brigautine  detached  from  Vera  Cruz 
had  assured  him  that  the  great  reinforcement  promised 
him  would  soon  arrive  ;  he  expected  provisions  from  Ha- 
vana ;  the  fort  at  Point  Siguen^a  was  almost  finished,  as 
well  as  a  fifteen  gun  battery  that  was  to  command  the  en- 
trance of  the  harbor;  they  were  diligently  laboring  to 
make  Fort  St.  Charles  proof  against  any  in-tult;  but 
hunger  began  already  to  be  sensibly  felt,  and  sickness  be- 
gan to  spread. 

The  hope  of  receiving  the  supplies,  announced  as  very 
near  at  hand,  for  a  time  sustained  the  troops,  but  as  the

'-^  ^  *-■  the  country  should  be  abandoned  before  the  mortality 
increased,  because,  if  the  French  came  with  a  new  force, 
it  would  avail  little  to  be  well  fortified,  when  want  of  pro- 
visions would  force  them  to  surrender.  Men  even  began 
to  think  .^re  long,  that  the  expected  succors  were  lost,  it 
not  heiai  probable  that  the  Viceroy  of  Mexico  and  the 
Governor  of  Havana  would  have  neglected  to  send  them 
at  the  time  they  had  set,  and  some  said  openly  that  their 
departure  should  no  longer  be  delayed,  as  they  had  only 
just  provisions  enough  to  carry  them  to  Havana. 

The  general  was  so  fortunate  as  to  succeed  in  quelling 
this  incipient  mutiny,  but  he  was  soon  after  notified  that 
five  sail  had  been  seen  near  Dauphin  Island;  that  the 
captain  of  a  bilander  had  sent  his  longboat  to  reconnoi- 
tre them,  and  that  this  boat,  having  gone  too  near,  had 
been  detained.'  There  was  then  no  doubt  that  they  were 
French  ships,  and  this  opinion  was  confirmed  by  the  fact 
that  for  three  days  past  not  a  band  of  Indians  had  been 
seen  near  Pensacola  This  led  to  the  conclusion  that 
these  savages  had  joined  the  French  troops  to  invest  the 
fort  by  land,  while  the  ships  attacked  by  sea.  The  Gov- 
ernor of  San  Carlos,  the  first  to  receive  this  tidings, 
thought  it  the  best  expedient  to  burn  the  fort  to  prevent 
the  French  from  establishing  themselves  there,  and  to 
carry  to  the  fort  on  Siguenfa  Point  all  his  artillery  and 
munitions.  But  as  be  was  almost  alone  in  this  opinion, 
he  bade  the  general  do  what  he  deemed  best  for  the 
King's  service.' 
Arrival  of  The  next  morning  tk<)  captain  of  another  bilander  assured 
otuuupmuin  the  general  that  the  ships  which  he  had  seen  were  mer- 
•quadron.  chantmen  of  from  twenty  to  twenty-six  guns  at  the  most, 
but  it  was  soon  after  reported  to  him,  that  six  men-of-Tirar 
were  in  sight  to  the  southeast.  He  at  first  took  it  for 
Cornejo's  squadron,  but  was  soon  undeceived,  and  it  was 
evident  that  they  were  French  vessels.'    Carrascosa  re-

solved  to  make  at  least  a  bold  front ;  he  sent  Don  Bruno 
Oayallero  with  a  hundred  men  to  the  still  unfinished  fort 
on  the  Point ;  he  proceeded  in  person  with  his  frigate  to 
the  midst  of  the  channel,  where  he  lay  to  under  several 
anchors.  He  ordered  the  two  other  frigates  and  the 
Mardchal  de  Yillars,  having  reinforced  them  with  a  hun- 
dred men,  to  do  the  same  thing,  and  draw  up  in  line  of 
battle,  leaving  only  one  side  free  at  Fort  Siguenga;  he 
drew  all  his  other  vessels  up  in  line,  and  sent  word  of  all 
to  the  Governor  of  San  Oarlos.  The  latter,  on  his  side, 
had  at  once  made  out  the  ships  to  be  French,  because  the 
moment  they  turned  to  approach  the  mouth  of  the  har- 
bor, he  was  attacked  by  a  large  body  of  Indians,  with 
Frenchmen,  as  he  judged,  among  them. 

In  fact,  the  Count  de  Ohampmelin,  commanding  the 
squadron,  having  arrived  in  sight  of  Dauphin  Island  on 
the  31st  of  August,  anchored  the  next  day  in  the  road- 
stead of  that  island  with  five  men-of-war  and  two  of  the 
Company's  ships.  He  met  in  the  channel  two  Spanish 
bilcuders,  cruising  there  to  cut  o£f  communication  be- 
tween the  island  and  Manbile,  but  on  sighting  his  squad- 
ron, they  set  sail  for  Pensacola.  On  the  other  hand,  Mr. 
de  Serigny,  before  communicating  with  Mr.  de  Champ- 
melin,  had  notified  Mr.  de  Bienville  to  assemble  the  In- 
dians with  all  tlie  French  he  could  find,  and  march  with 
them  to  Dauphin  Island ;  this  done,  he  proceeded  to  sa- 
lute the  Count  de  Champmdlin  and  report  to  him  the  po- 
sition of  affairs.  A  few  days  after,  Bienville  arrived,  and 
on  the  fifth  the  general  held  a  great  council  of  war.  It 
was  there  decided  that  de  Bienville  should  invest  the  fort 
at  Pensacola  by  land  with  the  four  or  five  hundred  In- 
dians, and  that  Mr.  de  Serigny  should  remain  with  Mr.

On  the  seventh,  Dardennes,  a  Canadian,  who  had  been 
sent  to  Pensacola  to  endeavor  to  reconnoitre  the  condi- 
Ponsacoia.  ^^Jq^  ^f  ^j^g  place,  reported  that  he  had  counted  eight  ves- 
sels at  anchor  o£f  St.  Bosa  Island,  the  masts  lowered  and 
the  yards  sheered  up;  that  he  had  perceived  a  number  of 
tents  on  the  island  and  many  men  walking  there ;  that 
the  fort  at  Pensacola  seemed  to  him  in  very  good  condi- 
tion ;  that  the  bastion  on  the  northeast,  and  curtain  on 
the  north  had  been  entirely  restored,  and  that  the  garri- 
son durst  not  sally  forth  by  day  or  night,  such  was  their 
fear  of  the  Indians.  On  the  tenth,  some  Apalaches,  also 
returning  from  a  scout,  brought  in  a  Spaniard,  but  he 
was  a  galley  slave,  from  whom  no  information  could  be 
obtained.  Finally,  on  the  twelfth,  de  Bienville  came 
aboard  the  flagship  with  a  troop  of  Canadians,  to  receive 
Mr.  de  Champmelm's  last  orders,  and  on  the  night  be- 
tween the  thirteenth  and  fouiteenth,'  the  general  sig- 
nalled to  weigh  anchor  with  three  King's  ships,  two  of 
the  Company's  frigates,  the  Union  and  Philippe,  and  a 
smali  bark  to  aid  in  landing,  in  case  of  need. 

The  Western  Company  had  recently  sent  to  Louysiana 
two  hundred  and  fifty  men  of  the  late  levies ;  these  were 
distri'outed  among  the  King's  vessels.  Bienville's  orders 
were  to  proceed  by  sloop  to  Rio  Perdido  with  the  sol- 
diers and  volunteers  to  join  the  Indians  whom  the  Chevalier 
de  Lcngueville'  was  to  bring  thither,  and  whom  he  in  fact 
found  there.  Bienville  then  detached  a  body  of  French 
and  Indians  to  harass  the  garrison  of  Pensacola,  and 
prevent  any  one  from  leaving  the  fort.  This  was  punctu- 
ally carried  out. 

In  fine,  on  the  15th,  before  sunri^fl,  the  squadron 
weighed  anchor ;  and  on  the  16th  in  the  evening,  it  fun-

chored  in  seven  fathoms,  south  of  Pensacola,  about  two 
cannon-shot  from  the  bar,  as  Mr.  de  Champmeliu  wished 
to  examine  in  person  whether  there  was  sufficient  water 
on  the  bar  for  the  King's  ships,  the  two  largest  of  which, 
namely,  the  Hercules,  his  .'^agship,  and  the  Mars,  drev 
nineteen  feet.  The  Canadians  declared  thht  they  would 
pass  with  ease;  but  several  Spanish  and  French  pilots 
maintained  that  he  would  not  find  more  than  eigh- 
teen feet  of  water.  On  the  moraing  of  the  seventeenth 
the  general  ordered  all  the  sloops  and  boats  of  the  squadron 
to  go  and  sound  the  bay ;  Mr.  de  Yienne,  the  Chevalier 
de  Goyon  and  Mr.  de  Serigny  embarked,  and  nowhere 
found  less  than  twenty-two  feet,  but  the  tide  was  high  and 
Mr.  de  Champmelin  still  hesitated  to  risk  the  King's 
ships.  Mr.  de  Serigny  pledged  his  head  that  he  would 
take  them  in,  and  the  whole  council  of  war  favored  the 
projected  passage.' 

In  fact,  though  the  tide  was  quite  low  when  the  squad- 
ron got  under  weigh,  it  found  twenty-one  feet  of  water 
everywhere  except  in  one  spot,  where  the  Hercules,  by 
not  exactij^  following  the  channel,  touched  slightly,  but 
without  sustaining  any  injury.  The  ships  Comte  de  Tou- 
louse, Marechal  de  Yillars,  St.  Louis,  and  a  small  frigate 
of  eighteen  gnu?.,  were  anchored  with  a  spring  upon  the 
cable,'  just  within  the  entrance  of  the  harbor,  under  the 
guns  of  the  fort  at  the  point  of  Santa  Bosa  Island  or  Si- 
guen9a,  which  had  fourteen  mounted,  and  nearer  the 
shore  lay  seven  bilanders,  armed  with  from  eight  to 
fourteen  guns.  The  squadron  entered  wind  astern,  with 
the  topsails  on  the  cap,  in  order  to  have  time  to  cannon- 
ade the  ships  and  fort  at  the  point.  These  latter  fired 
first  on  the  Kir.g'H  ships,  which  showed  only  the  bow,  be- 
ing obliged  to  wear,  so  that  they  were  for  a  time  unable 
to  reply,  but  when  they  came  within  good  musket-shot

on  the  cable  would  have  required  a  starboard  tack,  that 
is,  turning  to  the  right,  the  fire  became  very  warm  on 
both  sides  and  Uolt^u  t^^o  hours.  The  Spanish  historian 
counts  six  hours'  combat,  including,  apparently,  all  the 
time  that  his  nation's  ships  were  firing  on  ours ;  he  adds 
that  the  Indians  and  Canadians  kept  firing  all  night  on 
Fort  San  Carlos ;  that  the  fire  at  tho  entrance  of  the  port 
was  kept  up  till  the  fort  at  the  point  was  entirely  demo  • 
ished,  and  only  two  frigates  in  fighting  condition,  ani? 
that  which  bore  the  Spanish  general  sinking ;  that  then 
Mr.  de  Champmelin,  touched  to  see  so  many  brave  men 
perish,  sent  to  tell  Don  Alphonso  Carrasoosa  to  surren- 
der, which  he  did.  Don  Bruno  also  surrendered  with  the 
remnant  of  the  garrison  of  the  fort  on  the  point.' 
Fort  This  done,  the   French  general  sent  to  summon  the 

taken,  with  Govemor  of  Pensacola  to  surrender  as  a  prisoner  of  war 
prMunera"  ^ith  all  his  garrison,  in  default  whereof,  there  should  be 
'^  ^^''-  no  quarcer  for  any  one.  Matamoros  said  that  he  would 
answer  in  two  days.  Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  had  five  hun- 
dred Indians  and  a  hundred  and  fifty  Canadians,  had 
already  refused  to  make  terms  with  him,  and  he  felt  that 
if  Mr.  de  Champmelin  allowed  Bienville  to  storm  the 
place,  as  he  threatened  through  Mr.  de  Lille,  his  first 
lieutenant,  he  could  never  hold  out,  yet  he  allowed  de 
Lille  to  depart  without  a  reply  ;  but  his  officers,  to  whom 
he  imparted  the  summons,  forced  him  to  recall  that  officer. 
He  told  him  that  he  surrendered,  and  lowered  his  fiag. 
Mr.  de  Champmelin  showed  great  courtesy  to  all  the  offi- 
'lers,  and  told  them  that  he  had  never  yet  seen  so  gallant 
a  defence ;  it  was  indeed  conducted  with  great  ardor  and 
valor.'

ashore  at  the  head  of  the  bay,  to  bring  them  back  to  the 
port;  bat  only  French  prisoners  were  found  on  hoard, 
tb'j  Sj  aniards  having  escaped  to  St.  Joseph,'  as  a  brigan- 
tiue  and  periagua  did  at  the  commencement  of  the  action. 
The  same  day  the  Spanish  garrison  marched  out  of  Fort 
San  Carlos,  and  the  officers,  disarmed,  were  sent  on  the 
ships ;  but  they  were  allowed  to  retain  their  clothing  and 
all  private  property.  Mr.  de  Champmeliu  chose  to  have 
in  his  vessel,  the  general,  the  Governor  of  Pensacola, 
Don  Bruno  Cavallero,  Don  Estevan  Berroa,  and  Don 
Antonio  Joseph  Martinez.*  But  as  the  number  of  other 
prisoners,  whom  Bienville  estimates  at  fifteen  hundred, 
and  Mr.  de  Serigny  at  iwe^ve  hundred,  greatly  embar- 
rassed the  squadron  and  wo'ild  have  famished  it;  six 
hundred  were  sent  to  Havana  on  the  St.  Louis.  No  one 
doubted  that  the  enemy  must  have  had  many  killed  and 
wounded,  yet  only  sixty  in  all  were  found,  and  on  our  side 
there  were  only  six  or  seven." 

Early  in  the  morning  of  the  24th,  a  brigantine  was  per- 
ceived, which,  without  mistrusting,  entered  the  port;  it 
wus  commanded  by  Andrew  Gonzales,  bringing  from  Ha- 
vana the  provisions  so  long  expected  at  Pensacola.  Mr. 
Champo^elin  seized  it  and  found  wherewith  to  relieve  all 
his  mou,  who  needed  it  extremely.  Gonzales  was  also 
bearer  of  several  letters,  of  which  the  general  delivered 
only  such  as  he  deemed  proper.  By  the  same  channel, 
Mr.  de  Bienville  received  one  from  Mr.  de  Ghateaugue, 
who  informed  him  that  the  Governor  of  Havana  refused 
to  furnish  provisions  to  him,  ah  well  as  to  the  officers  and

sailorb  who  were  prisoners  with  bim,  and  that  the  latter 
were  forced  to  carry  stono  or  enlist  in  Spanish  ships,  to 
have  wherewith  to  sustain  life.'  Mr.  de  Champmelin  bit- 
terly reproached  the  Spanish  General  and  oflBcers  with 
this ;  but  he  did  not  think  it  right  to  take  any  other  ven- 
geance than  by  treating  kindly  all  the  prisoners  of  their 
nation  in  his  hand  >.  He  nevertheless  thought  it  his  duty 
to  write  to  the  Govcnoi"  of  Havana ;  he  then  sentenced 
the  Frenc^  taker  ns  in  hand  against  the  King;  the 
most  guilty        ■>        ;[ed,  the  rest  condemned  to  the  galleys.' 

The  only  ti>.yUo>t  ?'''t  was  whether  the  fort  at  Pensa- 
jg^Q^i^jfj^  cola  should  be  .  seivtd  There  was  no  lack  of  soldiers 
to  garrison  it,  but  most  o>  I'lem  were  wretches  who  had 
deserted  from  the  army  in  France,  or  taken  by  force ;  and 
past  experience  showed  how  little  dependence  could  be 
placed  on  their  fidelity.  It  was  therefore  resolved  to  de- 
molish two  bastions  on  the  land  side,  preserving  only  the 
two  facing  the  port,  and  to  leave  there  an  officer,  two  ser- 
geants, twenty  soldiers  and  twelve  Indians.'  On  the 
third  of  October,  the  frigate  Duke  de  Noailles  arrived  at 
Fensacola  and  delivered  to  the  Count  de  Champmelin 
letters,  by  which  he  was  ordered  to  winter  with  his  squad- 
ron in  Louysiana,  inasmuch  as  information  had  reached 
the  Court  of  France  that  a  strong  squadron  had  left 
Spain  for  the  Gulf  of  Mexico ;  but  the  condition  in  which 
his  ships  and  crews  were,  rendered  this  >rder  impracticable. 

On  the  eleventh  a  Spaniard,  sole  survivor  of  the  crew 
of  a  storeship  of  twenty-four  guns,  intended  to  revictual 
St.  Joseph's  Bay,  stated  that  he  had  sailed  from  Vera 
Cruz  sixteen  days  previously ;  that  he  had  left  there  five 
men-of-war,  carrying  each  from  fifty  to  seventy  guns  ;  two 
frigates  and  three  bilanders,  with  a  great  number  of  land

18th,  at  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  a  ohip  hove  in 
sight,  and  at  the  same  time  they  brought  to  the  general 
another  Spaniard,  who  had  been  found  on  Santa  Eosa 
Island.  This  man  told  him  that  he  had  come  from  Vera 
Cruz  in  the  ship  then  in  sight ;  that  he  and  two  others 
had  been  sent  ashore  in  the  boat,  which  had  been  lost ; 
that  his  comrades  were  drowned,  and  that  he  had  es- 
caped by  swimming.  Soon  after,  the  ship  fired  three 
guns,  as  if  to  recall  the  boat,  and  the  longboat  was  seen 
putting  oflP.  It  landed  at  Point  Siguen^a,  with  casks  to 
take  in  water.  It  was  captured,  and  those  in  it  said  that 
they  had  sailed  from  Vera  Cruz  thirty-five  days  before, 
and  that  their  ship  was  loaded  with  stores,  and  a  r 
forcement  of  a  hundred  men  for  Pensacola ;  that  \e 
northeast  wind  had  detained  them  at  Dauphin  l  '  xnd, 
and  that  they  had  endeavored  to  take  in  water  tlb-  >,  .  it 
had  been  prevented. 

The  next  morning  the  ship,  which  had  anchored  outb..de 
the  bay,  fired  a  gun  to  recall  its  longboat,  but  as  "id  ot 
return,  she  lay  to  where  she  was  till  eleven  o'clock.  But 
then  a  violent  southeast  wind  forced  her  to  enter  and  an- 
chor. The  Count  de  Champmelin  hoisted  his  fiag.  This 
ship  was  commanded  by  Don  Francisco  de  la  Peiia,  one 
of  the  captains  of  the  Barlovento  Fleet.  As  soon  as  he 
saw  the  French  flag  he  lowered  his,  and  the  g  neral  sent 
to  demand  the  letters  which  he  had  from  the  Viceroy.' 
He  gave  them  and  they  confirmed  all  that  was  already 
known  of  the  designs  of  tlie  Spaniards.  This  informa- 
tion did  not  alter  at  all  the  resolution  to  depart  which  Mr. 
de  Champmelin  had  formed,  as  sickness  was  increasing 
in  his  ships.  The  Mars,  however,  had  orders  to  remain 
till  its  crew  recovered  from  the  pestilence,  which  had  not 
left  the  ship  from  the  time  of  its  arrival  in  America. 
The  Mai^chal  de  Villars  and  the  Comte  de  Toulouse 
were  not  in  a  seaworthy  condition,  and  were  also  obliged 
to  remain.

These  arrangements  made,  Mr.  de  Cbampmdlin's  next 
thought  was  to  reward  the  Indians  for  the  zeal  they  had 
displayed  for  the  French  nation  sinoe  the  commencement 
of  this  war.  Mr.  de  Saint  Denys,  who  was  greatly  be- 
loved by  these  tribes,  received  orders  to  assemble  them, 
and  he  made  them  chant  the  calumet  in  honor  of  the  gen- 
eral, who  attended  with  all  his  officers.  He  then  ad- 
dressed them  in  the  general's  name,  exhorting  them  to  re- 
main ever  attached  to  the  French,  whose  superiority  over 
their  enemy  they  had  just  witnessed.  When  he  had  end- 
ed his  address,  presents  were  distributed  to  all  in  the  King's 
name,  and  they  were  sent  off  highly  pleased. 

On  the  21st,'  as  the  squadron  was  about  to  set  sail,  a 
bilander  was  seen  endeavoring  to  enter  the  bay,  wind 
astern.  It  was  seized,  and  the  captain  declared  that  he 
had  cleared  from  Vera  Cruz  eighteen  days  before  in  com- 
pany with  a  44  gun  ship,  and  three  others  of  thirty, 
eighteen  and  twelve  guns,  and  another  bilander  ;  that 
three  ten  gun  ships  had  remained  in  port,  the  pestilence 
having  broken  out  among  the  crews  ;  that  General  Cor- 
nejo  in  person  was  in  the  largest  ship  ;  that  it  was  his  de- 
sign to  join  the  Uovernor  of  Pensacola,  to  aid  him  in 
conquering  all  that  was  still  left  to  the  French  in  Louysi- 
ana,  and  that  he  supposed  Dauphin  Island  and  Fort 
Maubile  already  iu  the  power  of  his  Catholic  maje.sty  ; 
that  moreover,  a  gale  having  siparuted  his  bilander  from 
the  squadron  three  days  after  its  departure  from  Vera 
Cruz,  he  did  not  know  what  had  become  of  it. 

This  news  decided  Mr.  de  Champmelin  to  remain  some 
days  longer  at  Pensacola,  awaiting  the  Spanish  squad- 
ron, but  as  it  did  not  appear,  he  hoisted  sail  and  started 
for  France  again.'  It  is  probable  that  Cornejo,  having 
learned  by  the  way  the  capture  of  Pensacola,  and  the

presence  of  the  French  fleet  there  still,  did  not  deem  it 
prudent  to  engage  a  squadron  much  stronger  than  his 
own.  Be  that  as  it  may,  de  Champmdlin  had  scarcely 
sailed  when  the  Chevalier  de  Saiijon  arrived  in  Louysia* 
na  with  a  new  squadron,'  nud  his  presence  contributed  in 
no  slight  degree  to  prevent  anything  being  undertaken  by 
the  Spaniards.  He  then  wished  to  go  to  St.  Joseph's 
Bay  and  capture  that  post ;  but  this  was  not  the  opinion 
of  Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  had  taken  possession  of  it  the 
year  before,  and  soon  after  abandoned  it  on  account  of  its 
uselessness  and  the  difilculties  of  defending  it,  or  ap- 
proaching it,  or  sbelteriug  vessels  there,  and  especially  on 
account  of  the  sterility  of  the  country,  which  is  adapted 
to  no  natural  products.  Mr.  de  Serigny,  too,  remarked 
that  the  famine  which  threatened  the  colony  would  pre- 
vent any  delay  in  the  departure  of  the  Company's  ships, 
which  it  was  intended  to  use  on  this  expedition,  and  on 
which  he  saw  himself  compelled  to  send  back  many  of  the 
people  to  France.  Mr.  de  Saujon  did  not  insist,  and  as 
there  was  no  longer  anything  to  detain  him  in  America, 
he  sailed  for  France.' 

De  Seriguy   followed  soon  after:  he  set  sail  June  27, 
1720,'  and  ou  reaching  Brest  he  learned  that  the  King 
had   appointed  him  captain  of  ships  of  the  line ;   a  re- 
ward well  merited  by  his  valor,  his  good  conduct,  and  the     "^^"f  "'^" 
zeal  with  which  he  had  served  his  prince  from  childhood ;  an^a  nrrlvai 
having  never  been  promoted  to  any  rank  in  the  navy  till  "'y^uf^

be  had  diatinguished  himself  by  some  sigual  aotiuu  or  in 
soiuo  important  service.  Three  duyn  after  his  departure, 
two  of  the  King's  vessels,  the  Toulouse  and  the  Henry, 
which  had  sailed  from  Toulou  uudor  the  command  of 
Messrs.  de  Volette'  and  de  Cufaro,  arrived  in  wretched 
plight  at  the  roadstead  oS  Dauphin  Inland.  The  Jesuit 
Father  Laval,  royal  professor  of  hydrography  at  the  port 
of  Toulou,  was  on  board,  having  come  to  make  observa- 
tions in  Louysiaua,  aud  especially  to  dx  the  longitude  of 
the  mouth  of  the  Micissipi  ;*  but  the  peHtileuoe  having 
broken  out  on  both  vessels,  Mr.  de  Cafaro  died  on  the 
voyage ;'  the  chaplaius  were  not  able  to  attend  the  sick, 
who  were  very  numerous ;  accordingly,  that  religious,  feel- 
ing that  science  is  only  an  accessory  to  a  man  of  his  pro- 
fession, thought  the  duty  of  his  ministry  paramount  to 
any  good  to  be  expected  from  his  astronomical  obse*'va- 
tions :  he  did  not  go  to  the  Micissipi,  although  he  was 
only  fourteen  leagues  distant  from  it :  he  did  not  leave 
the  crews,  employing  in  his  observations  only  the  mo- 
ments he  stole  from  sleep.  This  conduct  elicited  high 
praise  from  the  prince  who  presided  in  the  Navy  Council.* 
Meanwhile,  the  Fort  of  the  Natchitoches  was  always 
maintained,  and  some  detachments  of  concessions  had  ad- 
vanced in  that  direction,  in  hopes  of  acquiring  wealth  by 
trade  with  the  Spaniards,  a  chimerical  hopu,  which  pre- 
vented their  adopting  surer  methods  of  makiug  a  solid 
settlement  elsewhere,  and  which  finally  ruined  them.  To- 
wards the  close  of  this  year  de  Bienville  received  orders 
from  court  to  send  back  Mr.  de  Saint  Denys,'  whom  the

King  had  honored  with  the  brevet  of  Captain,  and  the  >7<i> 
Cross  of  Saint  Louis,  on  the  high  testimony  which  Mr.  de  ^"""v*^ 
Champmelin  had  rendered  in  hid  favor  in  the  Council  of 
the  Navy.  Ha  set  out  at  the  commencement  of  the  fol- 
lowing year  with  a  reinforcoment  of  troops  and  munitions, 
and  his  wife  soon  joined  him  there.  Mr.  de  Chuteaugu^, 
who  hud  proceeded  from  Havana  to  France,  also  re- 
turned at  the  same  time,  with  the  rank  of  King's  Lieu- 
tenant, and  resumed  command  of  Fort  Saint  Louis  at 
Maubile.  Finally,  de  Bienville  again  established  the 
headquarters  of  Louysiana  at  Biloxi,  and  tixod  his  resi- 
dence there,  with  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  and  the 
Directors  of  the  Company,  of  which  he  was  the  presiding 
officer. 

No  further  fears  were  entertained  of  the  Spaniards,  be-  tjjf„ji*<,j 
cause  from  the  preceding  yeiir  while  Mr.  du  Vulette  was  v^^ee. 
still  at  Dauphin  Island,  positive  information  had  come 
that  two  Spanish  ships  of  sixty-six  and  sixty-seven  guns, 
commanded  by  two  commodores,  and  which  were  to  join 
the  Vera  Cruz  fleet  to  surprise  Peusucola,  had  received 
counter  orders  at  Havana,  and  that  this  change  was 
caused  by  a  suspension  of  hostilities  between  the  two 
crowns.  The  cuurt  of  Madrid  feeling,  no  doubt,  that  the 
restitution  of  Fensacola  would  be  one  of  the  articles  of 
the  treaty  of  peace  then  negotiating,  thought  it  needless 
to  incur  useless  expense,  and  the  result  was  as  she  had 
foreseen.' 

It  was  a  favorable  opportunity  to  establish  the  couces-  Urnucccu- 
sions,  who  did  not  cease  to  arrive  from  Franco,  and  who,     prise  at' 
well  managed,  would  in  a  fow  years  have  peopled  botli     '  ijJiy" 
banks  of  the  Micissipi  up  to  the  Illinois ;  but  the  sole 
aim  of  the  Directors  of  the  Company  was  to  got  near  the 
Spaniards,   and    prevent  their    settling  in  our  vicinity.

lect the  right  man  for  the  enterprise.  This  man  entered 
the  Magdalen  Biver,  which  he  met  on  his  way,  and  as- 
cended it  five  or  six  leagues.  He  found  the  Indians  on 
their  guard  all  along,  resolved  not  to  sn£fer  any  strangers 
in  their  country.  He  told  them  that  he  came  to  form  an 
alliance  with  them,  and  to  improve  their  condition,  but 
they  answered  that  they  were  satisfied  as  they  were,  and 
preferred  their  liberty  to  all  the  advantages  offered  them. 
The  officer,  however,  found  means  to  allure  some  of  their 
chief  men  on  board,. where  be  retained  them.  He  at  once 
set  sail  and  brought  them  to  Biloxi.  De  Bienville 
sharply  censured  this  treacherous  act,  and  sent  the  In-

joy,  apparently  very  sincere  on  both  sides.* 

As  soon  as  the  brigantine  sot  sail  again,  that  is  to  say,  Headqnor- 
towards  the  middle  of  June,  they  began  transferring  to  New  f^reduT 
Orleans  all  the  goods  in  the  Western  Company's  storehouses 
at  Biloxi,  because  the  Council  had  ordered  the  headquarters 
to  be  established  there,  only  a  detachment  with  an  officer  to 
remain  at  Biloxi.  The  troops  had  already  begun  their 
march  to  the  capital,  but  all  did  not  follow  the  route  as- 
signed to  them.  A  company  of  Swiss,  with  their  captain 
at  their  head,  having  embarked  in  a  small  coaster  with  a 
quantity  of  provisions  and  munitions,  steered  with  ensigns 
spread  towards  CaroUna,  where  they  were  very  well  re- 
ceived. Only  two  officers  with  a  sergeant  and  some  wo- 
men remained  in  Louysiana,  and  even  their  clothes  had 
been  carried  ofif  by  the  others.*

1722.     inglj,  declined  daily,  and  it  was  high  time  to  send  from 
*"'"^'  ""^  France  wherewith  to  repair  its  losses.     The  English,  on 
English    tbeir  side,  enriched  by  our  spoils,  and  informed  of  our 
intrrguos.  weakness,  thought  it  a  favorable  opportunity  to  regain 
our  Indians,   who  had  handled  them  so  roughly.    The 
first  whom  they  attempted  were    the  Tchactas  (Choc- 
taws),  exaggerating  our  poverty,  to  persuade  them  that 
they  need  expect  nothing  in  future  from  us,  and  making 
them   the  most  alluring  offers  if  they   would  renounce 
our  alliance  and  join  them. 
Fidelity  of     It  was  a  great  temptation  for  Indians,  partly  convir.ced 
choctawB.  by  their  own  eyes  of  what  was  told  them,  and  only  too  con- 
scious that  our  last  successes  had  produced  no  solid  result. 
It  is  moreover  certain,  that  if  this  nation,  tlie  most  numer- 
ous in  all  Louysiana,  had  been  gained  by  the  bait  of  the 
proffered  advantages,  all  our  oth'^r  allies  would  have  fol- 
lowed their  example,  more  especially  as  those  who  were 
most  attached  to  us  were  not  in  a  condition  to  stem  the 
torrent ;  but  the  Choctaws.  on  tliis  occasion,  displayed  a 
disinterestedness  and  a  fidelity  of  which  the  most  civil- 
ized nations  cannot  always  boast ;  they  themselves  informed 
de  Bienville   of   the  proposals  made  to  them,  uud  that 
commtindant   found   them   in   a   disposition   towards  the 
French  from  which  he  thought  he  could  expect  everything. 
Cause  of       The  Euglis«h  were  not,  liowever,  unanimous  in  regard  to 
desertions,  the  great  number  of  French  taking  refuge  among  them. 
Some    even   jiossibly   feared   to   see   them   niultipl_y    too 
rapidly  in  their  colonies ;  it  is  at  least  certain  that  the 
Governor   of   Carolina,    writing   to   Mr.    do  Bienville,   to 
inform  him  of  the  arrival  of  the  Hieur  Brandt'  and  his 
Swiss    company,   advised   him    to  inform    the  court    of

France  cf  this  great  disorder,  which  would  infallibly  soon  1722. 
draw  down  utter  ruin  on  his  colony.  But  all  that  hap-  "-^v— ' 
pened  should  have  been  anticipated  ;  that  colony  having 
been  settled  almost  entirely  by  people  sent  over  by  force, 
or  Concessionaries  who  did  not  find  there  what  they  had 
been  led  to  expect ;  for  soon  the  only  thought  of  either 
was  to  get  out  of  it ;  numbers  died  of  misery  or  disease, 
and  the  country  was  emptied  as  rapidly  as  it  had  filled. 

For  their  part,  the  deserters  everywhere  adduced  the 
>,eces8ity  to  which  they  were  driven,  of  providing  for 
themselves  elsewhere,  by  the  refusal  to  give  them  the 
very  necessaries  of  life.  Some  even  wrote  to  the  Begis- 
seurs  of  Louysiana  '  in  terms  that  showed  how  much  the 
step  they  had  just  taken  cost  them ;  and  this  was  still 
more  clearly  evinced  by  what  happened  in  the  month  of  Au- 
gust of  this  came  year.  One  Duclos,  commanding  a  coaster 
with  a  very  rich  cargo,  was  met  by  a  party  of  these  deser- 
ters, who  merely  took  from  him  some  provisions  and 
liquors,  without  touching  his  merchandise.  On  his  ex- 
pressing his  surprise,  the^'  replied  that  they  were  not  rob- 
bers, but  decent  men,  whom  necessity  forced  to  seek  life  in 
other  nations,  since  their  own  let  them  perish  with  hun- 
ger. The  most  malcouteut  were  the  soldiers,  who  re- 
ceived absolutely  nothing  but  brend,  while  meat  was  dis- 
tributed to  the  Company's  workmen,  and  even  to  the  cri- 
minals, who  were  quite  frequently  employed  by  the  settlers. 

To  crown  the  misfortunes,  on  the  Tith  of  September,  at  Hurricane 
ten  in  the  evening,  ther'3  rose  on  the  Micissipi  a  hurri-  effects, 
cane,  which  lasted  iu  all  its  fury  till  noon  on  the  following 
day,  and  was  felt  as  far  as  Natchez  in  one  direction,  and 
Biloxi  iu  the  other.  At  New  Orleans,  the  church,  hospi- 
tal and  thirty  houses  or  log  huts  were  thrown  down ;  all 
the  other  edifices  were  injured.  No  lives  were  lost,  but 
some  of  the  sick  iu  the  hospital  were  wounded.    A  niMober

of  boats,  periaguas,  canoed  and  sloops  were  crushed  in 
the  port;  three  ships  anchored  there  were  very  much 
damaged,  and  found  themselves  high  ashore  on  the  bank  of 
the  river,  which  had  risen  eight  feet.  In  the  settlements 
above  and  below  the  city  there  was  not  a  building  stand« 
ing.  Biloxi  suffered  even  more;  all  the  houses  and 
stores  were  overthrown,  and  as  the  sea  overflowed  its 
bounds,  a  part  of  that  post  was  inundated.  The  coasters 
which  were  in  the  roadstead  were  driven  on  the  islands,  or 
on  the  mainland.  There  was  even  one,  the  captain  of 
which  alone  escaped  with  a  cabin  boy,  having  spent  twen* 
ty-four  hours  on  the  yard-arm ;  the  rest  of  the  crew  were 
drowned.  Several  periaguas,  coming  down  to  New  Or- 
leans loaded  with  provisions  and  poultry,  were  wrecked. 
The  vegetables  that  were  mature  were  destroyed,  and  the 
continual  rains  which  came  on  spoiled  a  ,<;ood  part  of 
what  was  still  green.' 
Tho  Chick-  Meanwhile,  the  war  with  the  Chicachas  (Ohickasaws) 
peace,  still  continued,  although  it  was  confined  to  some  sur~ 
prises,'  which  compelled  travellers  to  proceed  with  cau- 
tion. These  Indians  even  themselves  were  the  £rst  to 
grow  weary  of  it  at  &  time  when  they  might  have  ^iven  us 
great  trouble.  Two  Canadians,  father  and  son,  havia,': 
fallen  into  their  hands,  were  well  treated  by  them,  a^-d  tlu. 
chiefs  begged  them  to  writ"  'c  Ae  Bienville  that  if  he

But  the  colony,  though  relieved  as  far  as  this  tribe  was     1722. 
ooncemed,  not  only  the  bravest  in  all  Louysiana,  but  also  """v— ^ 
the  most  to  be  feared  in  consequence  of  its  relations  with  Hostuiti#« 
the   English,   soon   saw  that  it   could  depend   on  the    j^a^tchu. 
fidelity  of  the  Natchez  only  so  long  as  they  kept  on  their 
guard  against  that  naturally  treacherous  nation.     In  fact, 
these  savages  no  sooner  perceived  that  the  French,  en- 
gaged in  other  affairs,  paid  less  attention  to  their  doings, 
than  they  renewed  their  outrages,  and  displayed  aU  their 
ill  will,  of  which  it  will  be  soon  seen  the  authoritiec  were 
not  sufficiently  on  their  guard. 

At  the  same  time  sad  tidings  came  from  the  Blinoia. 

The 

Mr.  de  Boisbnand,  warned  that  the  (Illiuois)  of  the  Bock  nunou  all 
and  of  Pimiteouy  were  besieged  by  the  Foxes,  L  .d  em-  ""the"" 
barked  with  the  Chevalier  d'Artaguette  and  the  Sieur  du  ^^'■'^P'- 
TisDti,  both  captains,  several  other  officers  and  a  detach- 
ment of  a  hundred  men,  to  hasten  to  their  deliverance, 
and  had  ordered  forty  Frenchmen  and  four  hundred  In- 
dians to  march  by  land  to  Pimiteouy  and  await  him  there ; 
but  when  each  division  had  got  about  half  way,  they 
learned  that  the  Foxes  had  retreated  with  a  loss  of  more 
than  a  hundred  and  twenty  of  their  men.  This  success 
did  not,  however,  prevent  the  Illinois,  although  they  had 
lost  only  about  twenty  men,  with  some  women  and  chil- 
dren, from  leaving  the  Bock  and  Pimiteouy,  where  they 
were  kept  in  constant  alarm,  and  proceeding  to  unite  with 
those  of  their  brethren  who  had  settled  on  the  Micissipi ; 
this  was  a  stroke  of  grace  for  most  of  them,  the  small 
number  of  missionaries  preventing  their  supplyin  so 
many  towns,  scattered  far  apart ;  but  on  the  other  s  as 
there  was  nothing  to  check  the  raids  of  the  Foxes  mg 
the  Illinois  Biver,  communication  between  L01  \  siana 
and  New  France  became  much  iess  practicable. 

Some  time  after  they  received  a  very  severe  cht  k  from 
the  Sieur  de  Saint  Ange,  the  officer  at  Fort  C  u-tres  in 
the  Illinois,  who,  having  drawn  a  large  body  of  mem  into 
a  kind  of  ambuscade,  cut  them  almost  all  to  pieces  ;  other 
less  numerous  bands  met  the  same  fate  soon  after :  but

1722.     their  fury  increased  as  their  forces  diminished,  and  com- 
^-""y^^  municated  it  so  fully  to  the  new  enemies  they  raised  up 
against  us,  that  the  whole  course  and  neighborhood  of 
the  Micissipi  was  infested  with  Indians  with  whom  we 
had  never  had  any  difficulty,  and  who  gave  no  quarter  to 
any  French  whom  they  could  well  surprise  or  attack. 
Several  Natchez  came  out  openly  against  us,'  and  what 
TbeNaU   most  embarrassed  de   Bienville  was  the  fact  that  the 
pcaco  with  brother  of  the  Great  Chief  was  at  their  head.    To  make 
'  a  lasting  arrangement  with  this  nation,  it  would  have 
been  necessary  to  have  this  man,  who  was  the  author  of 
all  the  evil,  given  up  to  the  Qovernor  by  his  own  brother, 
and  there  was  no  way  to  drive  the  latter  to  it.    The  wis- 
dom and  firmness  of  the  Sieur  Dehetto,  who  commanded 
at  that  post,  extricated  de  Bienville  from  this  difficulty. 
That  commandant  so  adroitly  worked  on  the  mind  of  the 
Great  Chief,  as  to  bring  him  to  resolve  to  go  in  person 
and  put  his  brother  at  the  discretion  of  the  general,  who, 
on  his  side,  generously  pardoned  an  humbled  enemy  and 
gained  liim.    Great  marks  of  confidence  were  given  on 
both  sides,  and  this  good  understanding  would  to  all  ap- 
peal ance  have  been  durable,  bad  Mr  Delietto  lived  lon- 
ger.   He  'vas  already  dt  ^^   ..  L^_  I  reached  Natchez  at 
the  close  of  the  year  1722,  aud  the  r^ood  understanding,  it 
seemed  to  me,  was  still  perfect  between  the  French  and 
Indians.    A  little  mor<^  distrust  and  precaution  on  the 
side  of  the  former,  would  undoubtedly  have  deprived  the 
latter  of  the  >'t.ry  thought  of  regarding  them  diflferontly, 
aud  prevented  the  evils  of  which  we  shall  soon  speak. 


'  A  quarrel  arose  between  a  8er- 
geanl  and  B(".\e  Indians  a)>out  a 
debt,  and  the  guard  in  trying  to  re- 
store peace,  killed  a  chiefs  son  and 
wounded  some  others.  B^nard  de 
la  UariH),  p.  343.  Le  Page  du  Pratz, 
i.,  p.  160-3.  To  avenge  tLis,  Oue- 
note,  one  of  the  Directors  of  the 
St.  Catharine  Concesoion  at  Natchez, 
was  woumu'd,  and  la  Rochelle,  a  sol- 
dier, murdered.  Dumont,  ii.,  pp. 
04-6.  Troops  were  Su-nt  up  under  tiie 
Sieur  Pn.von,  in  four  batteaus  ;  but 
the  Stung  tScrpent,tljfn  Great  Chief, 


fined  three  Tillages  to  make  repara- 
tion. These  villages  in  retaliation 
began  killing  the  cattle  and  horses  of 
the  settlers.  Bienville  went  up  with 
u  French  and  Indian  force,  but  after  a 
fight  at  one  cabin,  the  Natches  of  the 
Apple  Village  fied,  and  Bionrille 
burnt  the  town,  which  stood  near  Se- 
cond Creek.  On  their  giving  the 
heads  of  Old  Hair,  chief  of  the  Apple 
Village,  and  of  a  negro,  Bienville 
made  peace.  lb.,  ii.,  pp.  00-113.  Le

It  is  not  easy  to  saj  what  had  hitherto  prevented  their 
affording  the  colonists  settled  in  the  different  parts  of 
Loajsiana  the  spiritual  succors  so  necessary  to  new  set- 
tlements, even  on  the  ground  of  sound  policy.  How- 
ever, on  my  return  from  America  in  the  commencement 
of  the  year  1723,  I  found  the  court  and  the  Oompany 
equally  surprised  at  the  destitution  in  which  I  showed 
this  rising  colony  to  be  in  this  essential  point,  and  the 
Directors  of  the  Company  made  it  their  most  pressing 
duty  to  remedy  this  great  disorder.  They  cast  their 
eyes  on  the  Capuchin  Fathers,  and  having  obtained  seve- 
ral, distributed  them  in  the  quarters  where  there  were  the 
greatest  number  of  French  dwellings.' 

It  was  no  less  important  to  have  missionaries  among 
the  Indians  amid  whom  we  were  settled.  We  have  seen 
that  the  salvation  of  these  tribes  was  always  the  main  ob- 
ject which  our  kings  kept  in  view  before  all  else,  wherever 
they  extended  their  dominion  in  the  New  World,  and  the 
experience  of  nearly  two  centuries  had  taught  us  that  the 
surest  means  of  binding  the  natives  of  the  country  to  us. 


'  In  1724  Bienville  received  or- 
ders to  return  to  France ;  Mr.  de  la 
Tour  to  take  command  till  Mr.  de 
Boiebriant,  Qovernor  ad  interim,  re- 
turned from  Iliiuois.  He  embarked 
on  the  Bellona  in  1725,  but  sbe 
sank  in  the  Trou  du  Major;  he 
then  went  in  the  Gironde.  Before 
going,  Bienville  in  March  published

UDknown  that  even  independent  of  the  fruit  which  the 
evangelical  laborers  might  produce  among  them,  the  mere 
presence  of  a  man,  venerable  by  his  office,  understanding 
their  language,  able  to  observe  their  conduct,  and  able  by 
gaining  the  confidence  of  some  to  learn  their  designs,  is 
often  better  than  a  garrison,  or  may  at  least  supply  its 
place,  and  give  the  governors  time  to  take  steps  to  defeat 
their  plots.  The  example  of  the  Illinois,  who  had  since 
1717  been  incorporated  with  the  government  of  Louysia- 
na,  was  sufficient  to  show  how  important  it  was  not  to 
leave  the  other  nations  any  longer  without  missionaries.' 

The  India  Company  saw  this,  and  in  the  year  1725 
applied  to  the  Jesuits,  a  great  number  of  whom  offered 
themselves  for  this  new  mission.  But  as  the  Supe- 
riors could  not  grant  permission  to  all  to  devote  them- 
selves to  it,  and  there  were  not  enough  to  give  some  to  all 
the  tribes,  the  commandant  and  directors  thought  best  to 
place  the  first  who  arrived  in  positions  where  there  were 
no  Capuchins,  whence  it  happened  that  the  Natchez,  the 
very  people  whom  it  was  most  important  to  enlighten, 
had  none,  and  the  fault  thus  committed  was  not  perceived 
till  it  was  irreparable.* 

Provision  was  at  the  same  time  made  for  the  education 
of  the  young  French  girls  at  the  capital  and  its  vicinity, 
by  bringing  over  Ursulines  from  France ;  and  to  avoid 
multiplying  establishments  in  a  colony  which  scarcely  be-

In  the  month  of  October,  1726,  Mr.  Porrior,  lieutenant  Pomnr 
of  It  ship  of  the  line,  was  appointed  Ooramandant-Oono-  """,''*"

tiirnt^d  to  France.  Although  everything  seemed  quiet  in 
tiie  country,  the  new  commandant  soon  saw  the  necessity 
of  having  more  troops  than  he  found  there.  The  better 
he  knew  the  Indians,  the  more  convinced  he  became  that 
they  could  never  be  maile  permanent  allies  till  we  had  se-

1736.  make  war  aud  distingnish  himself  at  the  expense  of  the 
Company.  But  when  he  reoeived  this  letter,  he  had  only 
too  strong  evidence  to  disprove  these  insulting  suspicions, 
in  an  invent  which  soon  changed  the  minds  of  those  whose 
advice  had  been  taken  rather  than  his.  In  the  letter  just 
mentioned,  and  written  from  New  Orleans,  he  says :  "  I 
have  net  been  astonished  that  the  Company  has  been  as- 
sured that  troops  are  not  needed  in  Louysiana,  or  pres- 
ents for  the  Indians,  to  retain  them  as  our  allies ;  never- 
theless, I  have  seen  the  men  who  maintained  this  absurd- 
ity, trembling  to  the  very  marrow  of  their  bones,  although 
there  is  less  to  be  feared  here  than  elsewhere." 

In  another  letter,  dated  April  1st,  in  the  same  year,  he 
adds  one  thing,  which  shows  that  he  knew  the  Indians 
better  than  those  who  boasted  most  of  their  knowledge  of 
them.  Speaking  of  these  Indians,  he  says :  "  We  are  sure 
of  retaining  their  good  will  as  long  as  we  give  them  what 
they  wish ;  but  as  they  feel  that  we  need  them,  they  mul- 
tiply their  wants  in  such  a  way  that  the  English  and  our- 
selves are  the  dupes  of  these  savages,  who  are  much  less 
so  than  we."  What  he  proceeds  to  say,  ih&t  we  shall  not 
make  them  what  they  ought  to  be,  till  after  we  have  thor- 
oughly defeated  them,  is  not,  however,  true,  except  when 
they  have  given  grounds  for  so  treating  them ;  for  nothing 
embitters  them  more  than  to  make  war  on  them  without 
cause;  but  there  are  other  means  of  controlling  them. 
Mr.  Ferrier  was  not  ignorant  of  them;  and  in  fact  re- 
marks very  justly  in  his  previous  letter,  that  the  war  in 
which  he  was  engaged  had  convinced  him  that  to  escape 
the  importunity  of  the  Indians,  who  are  always  begging, 
you  need  only  to  pretend  to  do  without  them.  "  It  is," 
says  he,  "  the  means  to  make  them  all  wish  to  follow  us. 
Then,  if  they  are  not  satisfied,  we  can  tell  them  that  they 
were  not  invited.  Although  it  is  necessary  to  bind  them 
to  us  by  presents  to  avoid  war,  you  must  never  so  far 
reckon  on  their  fidelity  as  to  think  yourself  safe  from  insult." 

However,  both  those  who  depreciated  Perrier  with  the 
Company,  and  Perrier  hiixiself,  either  did  not  know  or  did 
not  sufficiently  consider  that  Christianity  alone  can  avert

from  UB  the  dangers  to  be  apprehended  from  the  Indians.  1726. 
The  former  judged  of  the  Lonysiana  Indians  by  those  of  ^•*'"^'"*-' 
Canada,  where  we  have  seen  the  Ab^naqois  and  all  the 
Indians  domiciliated  in  that  colony  enter  zealously  and 
heartily,  often  very  disinterestedly,  into  all  that  was  asked 
of  them,  and  they  did  not  consider  that  Christianity 
alone  had  brought  them  to  this  disposition ;  the  Comman^ 
dant-Ckneral,  who  had  never  known  any  Indians  except 
those  whom  he  had  to  deal  with,  did  not  sufficiently  un- 
derstand that  religion,  if  they  could  be  made  to  appreci- 
ate our  Holy  Mysteries,  would  gradually  correct  the 
faults  of  which  he  complained. 

Be  that  as  it  may,  the  tranquillity  enjoyed  in  Lonysia- 
na since  peace  had  been  granted  to  the  Natchez  and 
Chickasaws,  was  but  a  delusive  calm  which  lulled  the  inhab- 
itants, while  there  was  gathering  around  them  a  storm, 
whose  most  disastrous  effects  were  averted  only  by  mere 
chance,  saving  the  country  from  becoming  in  a  single  day 
the  tomb  of  all  the  French ;  but  which  was  fatal  indeed 
to  those  on  whom  it  burst,  and  who  had  no  time  to  shield 
themselves  from  it. 

For  several  years  past  the  Chickasaws,  at  the  instiga-  ^^^^^ 
tion  of  some  English,'  had  formed  the  design  of  so  extir-  ag«iiut  uu 
pating  the  whole  colony  of  Louysiana,  that  not  a  single 
Frenchman  should  remain.  They  had  managed  their 
scheme  with  such  secrecy  that  the  Illinois,  the  Acansas 
and  the  Tonicas,  to  whom  they  had  not  ventured  to 
impart  it,  aware  of  their  tried  attachment  to  us,  had  not 
the  slightest  suspicion.  All  the  other  tribes  joined  it; 
each  was  to  fall  on  all  the  settlers  marked  out  for  it,  and 
all  were  to  strike  the  same  day  and  the  same  hour.  Even 
the  Tchactas,  (Choctaws,)  the  most  numerous  nation  on 
this  continent,  and  at  all  times  our  allies,  had  been  won 
over,  at  least  those  on  the  east,  who  are  called  the  Great 
Nation;  those  on  the  west,  or  Little  Nation,  had  takon 
no  part  in  it,  but  the  conspirators  long  preserved  the  se-

-^  ^~^'  when  akeady  too  late  to  warn  all  the  settlers. 
How  it  WW  Perrier,  learning  that  the  former  had  had  some  difficulty 
thwarted,  ^-^.j^  Dirou  d'Artaguette,  Eiug's-lieuteuaut  and  comman- 
dant at  Fort  Maubile,  invited  tlie  chiefs  of  the  whole  na- 
tion to  meet  him  at  New  Orleans,  with  the  prospect  of 
giving  them  complete  satisfaction  as  to  all  their  com- 
plaints. They  came,  and  after  explanations  given  bj 
them  on  the  matter  which  had  summoned  them,  they  told 
the  Commandant-Cbneral  that  the  nation  was  delight  ni 
at  his  sending  an  officer  to  reside  in  their  country,  and  it 
his  inviting  them  to  come  and  see  him.  They  said  no 
more,  but  returned  strongly  inclined :  1st.  To  break  their 
word  with  the  Chickasaws,  to  whom  they  had  promised  to 
destroy  all  the  settlements  depending  on  Fort  Maubilu. 
2nd.  To  aot>80  as  to  enable  the  Natchez  to  execute  tbeii- 
project.  This  the  Natchez  have  since  reproached  them  to 
their' face  in  presence  of  the  French,  without  their  ventur- 
ing to  deny  it.  We  have  never  doubted  that  their  design 
was  to  force  us  to  call  upon  them,  and  by  this  means,  pro- 
fit by  what  we  would  give  them  to  secure  their  co-opera- 
tion, and  by  the  booty  they  would  take  from  the  Natchez. 
Treaeheiy  The  Commandant-Qeueral  was  thus  unconsciously  on 
Choctaws  the  point  of  seeing  one  portion  of  the  colony  destroye  I 
confidence  by  enemies  whom  he  did  not  mistrust,  and  betrayed  by 
French,  allios  on  whom  he  supposed  he  could  depend,  and  who 
were  in  fact  one  of  his  great  resources,  but  who  wished  to 
profit  by  our  misfortunes.  Moreover,  it  was  all  the  easier 
for  those  whom  the  Chickasaws  had  won  over,  to  succeed 
in  their  project,  as  no  French  settlement  had  any  defence 
against  a  surprise  and  sudden  attack.  There  were  forts 
indeed,  in  some  places,  but  except  that  at  Maubile,  they 
were  only  stockades,  two  thirds  of  which  were  decayed, 
and  had  they  been  in  a  state  of  defence,  they  could  pro- 
tect from  the  fury  of  the  Indians  only  a  small  number  of 
the  nearest  dwellings.  Everywhere,  too,  men  lay  in  per- 
fect security,  which  would  have  enabled  these  savages  to 
massacre  all  the  French,  even  in  the  best-guarded  places.

as  happened  on  the  28th  of  November  at  the  Natchez,  in 
the  manner  about  to  be  described : 

Mr.  de  Ohepar,  who  commanded  at  that  post,  had  some 
little  difficulty  with  the  Indians;'  but  they  apparently  car- 
ried their  dissimulation  so  far  as  to  persuade  him  that  the 
French  had  no  more  faithful  allies.  He  was  in  fact  so  lit- 
tle distrustful,  that  when  on  the  27th  a  vague  rumor 
spread  that  the  Natchez  were  plotting  something  against 
us,  he  put  in  irons  seven  settlers  who  had  come  to  ask  his 
permission  to  assemble  and  take  up  arms  to  prevent  a 
surprise.'  He  even  carried  his  confidence  so  far  as  to  re- 
ceive thirty  Indians  into  the  fort,  and  as  many  in  and 
around  his  house.  The  others  were  scattered  in  the 
houses  of  the  settlers  and  the  workshops  of  the  mechan- 
ics, two  or  three  leagues  above  and  below  their  village. 

The  day  set  for  the  execution  of  the  general  plot  had 
not  yet  come,  but  two  things  induced  the  Natchez  to  an- 
ticipate it.  The  first  was  the  arrival  just  then  of  some 
batteauz  well  stocked  with  goods  for  the  garrison  of  that 
and  the  Yazoo  post,  as  well  as  for  several  settlers,  and 
that  they  wished  to  seize  them  before  they  were  dis- 
tributed; the  second  was,  that  the  commandant  had  re- 
ceived a  visit  from  the  Messrs  Kolly,  father  and  son,  whose 
concession  was  at  no  great  distance,  and  from  several 
other  persons  of  consequence,  for  they  saw  at  once  that  by 
pretending  to  get  up  a  hunt,  to  furnish  Mr.  de  Ohepar 
wherewith  to  regale  his  guests,  they  could  all  arm  without 
exciting  any  suspicion.  They  made  the  proposal  to  the 
commandant,  who  accepted  it  cheerfully,  and  they  at  once 
proceeded  to  trade  with  the  settlers  to  obtain  guns,  balls 
and  powder,  which  they  paid  for  on  the  spot.

1739.  This  done,  early  on  Moudaj,  the  28th,  they  scattered 
through  the  dwellings,  announoing  that  they  were  about 
to  stait  for  the  hunt,  careful  to  outnumber  the  French 
everywhere.  They  then  sang  the  calumet  in  honor  of  the 
commandant  and  his  company,  after  which  each  retomod 
to  his  post,  and  a  moment  later,  at  a  signal  of  three  mus- 
ket-shots fired  successively  at  the  door  of  Ohepar's  quar- 
ters,' they  began  the  massacre  at  the  same  time  every- 
where. The  commandant  and  the  EoUys  were  the  first 
killed ;  there  was  no  resistance  except  at  thr  house  of  Mr. 
de  la  Loire  des  Ursins,*  Ohief  Commissary  of  the  India 
Oompany,  where  there  were  eight  men.'  They  fought 
well;  eight  Natchez  were  killed  there,  and  six  French- 
men, the  other  two  escaped.  Mr.  de  la  Loire  had  just 
mounted  his  horse ;  at  the  first  noise  he  heard,  he  endeav- 
ored to  return  to  his  house,  but  was  intercepted  by  a 
party  of  Indians,  against  whom  he  held  oat  for  some  time, 
till  he  fell  dead,  pierced  by  many  wounds,  after  killing 
four  Natchez.  Thus  these  savages  lost  at  this  point 
twelve  men ;  but  that  was  all  their  treachery  cost  them.* 

Before  executing  their  plot,  they  had  made  sure  of 
several  negroes,  au>ong  whom  were  two  commanders. 
These  had  persuade*  1  the  rest  that  under  the  Indians  they 
would  be  free ;  that  our  women  and  children  should  be- 
come their  slaves,  and  that  there  was  nothing  to  fear  from 
the  French  of  the  other  posts,  as  the  massacre  would  be 
carried  out  simultaneously  everywhere.  It  seems,  how- 
ever, that  the  secret  had  been  confided  only  to  a  small 
number,  for  fear  of  its  taking  wind.  Be  that  as  it  may, 
two  hundred  men  perished  in  this  way  almost  in  an 
instant.    Of  all  the  French  who  were  at  this  post,  the

most  populous  of  all,  only  about  twenty  escaped,  and  five 
or  six  negroes,'  most  of  them  wounded.  One  hundred 
and  fifty  children,  eighty  women,  and  almost  as  many  ne- 
groes, w  Te  taken.*  The  Jesuit  Father  da  Poisson  and 
Mr.  du  (Jodere,  commandant  at  the  Yazoos,  who  hap- 
pened to  be  at  the  Natchez,  also  perished. 

The  former  had  started  from  his  Arkansas  mission  for 
some  business  that  required  his  presence  at  New  Or- 
leans. He  arrived  at  the  Natchez  quite  late  on  the  26th, 
intending  to  set  out  again  the  next  day,  after  saying  mass. 
Unfortunately  for  him,  the  Capuchin  father,  who  exer- 
cised parochial  functions  at  that  place,  was  absent,  and 
Father  du  Poisson  was  requested  to  sing  high  mass  and 
preach,  it  being  the  first  Sunday  of  Advent,  and  he  con- 
sented. In  the  afternoon,  as  he  was  on  the  point  of  em- 
barking, he  was  informed  that  there  were  some  sick  per- 
sons at  the  point  of  death ;  he  attended  them,  adminis- 
tered the  last  sacraments  to  some,  and  deferred  one  till 
next  day,  as  his  case  was  not  so  urgent,  and-  it  was 
already  quite  late.  The  next  day  he  said  mass,  and  then 
carried  the  Viaticum  to  the  sick  man,  to  whom  he  had 
promised  it,  and  it  was  after  performing  this  duty  of  char- 
ity that  he  was  encountered  by  a  chief,  who  seized  him 
around  the  body,  threw  him  to  the  ground,  and  chopped 
o£f  his  head  with  an  axe.  Mr.  du  Codere,  who  happened 
to  be  near,  had  already  drawn  his  sword  to  defend  him, 
when  another  Indian,  whom  he  had  not  seen,  shot  him  down.' 

During  this  massacre,  the  Sun,  or  Great  Chief  of  the 
Natchez,  wus  calmly  seated  under  the  tobacco  shed  of  the 
India  Company.  The  head  of  the  commandant  was  first 
brought  to  him,  then  those  of  the  leading  Frenchmen,

1729  which  he  caused  to  be  arranged  around  the  first ;  then  all 
the  others  in  heaps.  The  bodies  were  left  unburied,  to  be 
devoured  by  the  dogs  and  birds  of  prej.  Those  savages 
spared  only  two  Frenchmen,  who  might  bo  of  some  ser- 
vice to  them ;  one  was  a  tailor,  and  the  other  a  carpenter.' 
They  did  not  ill  treot  the  negro  and  Indian  slaves  who 
surrendered  without  offering  any  resistance ;  but  they 
ripped  up  the  pregnant  women,  and  butchered  almost  all 
those  who  had  children  at  the  breast,  because  they  an- 
noyed them  by  their  cries  and  tears.  All  the  other  women 
were  made  slaves,  and  treated  with  the  utmost  indignity. 

As  soon  as  they  were  sure  that  there  were  no  more  men 
left  in  the  country,  they  began  to  plunder  the  houses,  stores, 
and  the  boats  in  the  port.  Tho  best  treated  of  all  were 
the  negroes,  because  they  wished  to  sell  them  to  the  Eng- 
lish in  Carolina ;  and  to  dispel  any  hope  the  women  and 
other  slaves  might  entertain  of  ever  recovering  their  lib- 
erty, they  assured  them  that  what  had  just  occurred  be- 
fore their  eyes,  had  happened  all  through  the  colony,  and 
that  not  a  single  Frenchman  was  left  in  Louysiana,  where 
the  English  would  at  once  come  to  take  their  place.  Some 
had,  nevertheless,  escaped  to  the  woods,  whore  they  suf- 
fered greatly  fiom  cold  and  hunger.  There  was  one  who 
at  night  ventured  to  corae  out,  in  order  to  warm  himself  at 
a  house  which  he  saw.  As  he  appioached,  he  heard  the 
voices  of  Indians,  and  deliberated  whether  to  enter;  he 
made  up  his  mind  at  last  to  do  so,  preferring  a  violent  and 
speedier  death  to  the  slower  one  which  seemed  inevitable 
in  his  actual  condition.  But  he  was  agreeably  surprised 
by  the  welcome  the  Indians  gave  hira.  They  were  Ya- 
zoos,  who,  after  comforting  him,  gave  him  food  and  cover- 
ing, as  well  as  a  peri.igua  to  escape  to  New  Orleans. 
Their  chief  even  commissioned  him  to  assure  Mr.  Perrier 
that  he  had  nothing  to  fear  from  his  tribe,  which  would 
always  remain  faithfully  attached  to  the  French,  and  that 
he  was  about  to  start  with  his  troop  to  warn  all  the

This  man  found  the  capital  in  great  alarm ;  news  of  the  The  lamo 
massacre  had  already  reached  it  by  the  first  who  had  es-  thcPf^ool 
caped,  and  great  fear  was  entertained  for  the  French  set- 
tlers among  the  Yazoos.     Ot  his  testimony  they  were 
somewhat  relieved,  but  this  did  not  last  long.    On  the 
11th  of  December,  the  Jesuit  Father  Souel,  who  was 
missionary  to  the  Yazoos,  then  mingled  in  the  same  vil- 
lage with  the  Corrois  and  0£fogoulas,  when  returning  in 
the  evening  from  visiting  the  chief  of  the  Yazoos,  re- 
ceived several  musket-shots  as  he  was  crossing  a  river, 
and  expired  on  the  spot.    Hia  murderers  at  once  ran  to 
his  cabin  to  plunder  it.    His  negro,  recently  baptized,  and 
who  lived  quite  piously,  attempted  to  defend  himself  with 
a  woodcutter's  knife,  and  even  wounded  an  Indian,  but  ho 
was  at  once  pierced  with  thrusts. 

Father  Souel  was  much  beloved  by  these  Indians,  but  Cawes  of 
they  rebelled  at  his  constantly  reproaching  them  with  the  Father 
infamous  sin  which  brought  destruction  on  Sodom,  and  to 
which  they  were  greatly  addicted ;  and  there  is  every  pro- 
bability that  this  was  the  main  cause  of  his  death;  for 
although  the  Yazoos  and  Corrois  had  already  resolved  to 
exterminate  all  the  French,  the  very  men  who  had  slain 
the  missionary  reproached  themselves  with  his  death  as 
soon  ap  '  eir  blood  cooled.  They  however  soon  recov- 
ered their  natural  ferocity,  and  began  to  cry  that  as  the 
Chief  of  the  Prayer  was  dead,  no  Frenchman  must  be 
spared. 

Early  the  next  morning  they  proceeded  to  the  fort.  Fidelity  ot 
which  was  only  a  league  from  their  village.    On  seeing  offogoaia& 
them  approach  it  was  supposed  that  they  were  coming  to 
chant  the  calumet  to  the  Chevalier  dos  Boches,  who 
commanded  in  the  absence  of  du  Codere ;  for  although  it

is  only  forty  leagues  by  water  and  fifteen  bj  land  from  the 
Natchez  to  the  Yazoos,  no  information  had  reached  the 
latter  poat  of  what  had  occurred  nearly  a  fortnight  before 
in  the  former.  The  Indians  were  accordingly  allowed  to 
enter  the  fort,  and  when  it  was  least  expected,  they 
rushed  on  the  French,  who  were  only  seventeen  in  all ; 
they  had  not  even  time  to  attempt  to  defend  themselves, 
and  not  one  escaped.  These  savages  spared  the  lives 
only  of  four  women  and  five  children,  whom  they  made 
slaves.  One  of  Father  Souel's  murderers  at  once  put  on 
his  cassock,  and  in  this  attire  proceeded  to  announce  to 
the  Natchez  the  massacre  of  all  the  French  settlers  on 
their  river.'  The  Corrois  joined  them  in  this  expedition. 
The  Ofibgoulas  were  then  on  a  hunt;  on  their  return 
they  were  strongly  urged  to  enter  the  plot ;  but  they  stea- 
dily refused,  and  withdrew  to  the  Tonicas,  whom  they 
knew  to  be  of  all  the  Indians  the  most  inviolably  attached 
to  the  French. 
A  Some  suspicion  of  this  last  calamity  was  already  euter- 

aTuicIuT^  tained  at  New  Orleans,  when  the   arrival   of  the  Jesuit

This  religious  had  taken  the  period  of 
his  Indians'  winter  hunt  to  come  down  to  the  capital,  and 
there  arrange  some  affairs  connected  with  his  mission. 
On  the  first  day  of  the  year  1730,  he  wished  to  say  mass 
at  Father  Souel's,  being  ignorant  of  his  death  ;  but  as  he 
feared  that  he  would  not  get  there  till  after  noon,  he  re- 
solved to  celebrate  the  Holy  Mysteries  at  the  mouth  of 
the  Yazoo  River.  While  he  was  making  ready,  a  peria- 
gua  of  Indians  arrived  at  the  same  spot ;  when  asked  to 
what  nation  they  belonged,  they  replied  that  they  were

Tozoos,  friends  of  the  French,  and  at  the  same  time  they 
cordially  ofTered  provisions  to  the  companions  of  the  mis* 
sionary.  A  moment  after,  the  latter  perceived  some  wild 
geese  flying  overhead;  the  Canadians  never  resist  the 
temptation  of  firing  when  they  see  game  '  these  voyagours 
had  only  two  guns  loaded ;  they  fired  both  at  the  ge«Be, 
and  as  the  father  was  all  vested  to  begin  moss,  they  did 
not  think  of  reloading. 

The  Indians  noted  it  well,  and  took  their  plaoew  be 
hind  the  French,  as  if  they  wished  to  hear  the  mass, 
although  they  were  not  Ohristians.  As  the  priest  was 
saying  the  Kyrie  eleison,  they  fired.  Father  Doutreleau 
feeling  himself  wounded  in  the  right  arm,  and  seeing  one 
of  his  men  fall  dead  at  his  feet,  knelt  down  to  receive  in 
that  posture  the  death-blow,  which  seemed  inevitable.  In 
fact,  the  Indians  fired  three  times  at  him,  almost  at  the 
point  of  the  muzzle,  but  nevertheless  inflicted  no  new 
wound.  Then,  full  of  confidence  in  Divine  Providence, 
whose  protection  was  so  clearly  shown,  he  took  his  chal- 
ice and  paten,  and,  attired  as  he  was  in  his  priestly  vest- 
ments, ran  to  the  spot  where  his  periagua  was.  His  two 
surviving  men  had  already  jumped  in,  and  believing  him 
dead  or  unable  to  escape  from  the  Indians,  had  p,.Jsd  off. 

The  missionary  waded  out  to  reach  them,  and  as  he  got 
into  the  periagua,  having  turned  his  head  to  uee  whether 
he  was  pursued,  received  a  charge  of  duck-shot  in  the 
mouth.  Moat  of  the  shot  flattened  against  his  teeth,  and 
some  entered  his  gums.  He  escaped  with  this,  and  un- 
dertook to  steer  the  periagua ;  his  two  men,  one  of  whom 
had  his  leg  broken  by  a  musket-ball,  rowing  with  all  their 
might.  The  Indians  pursued  them  for  more  than  an 
hour,  keeping  up  a  constant  fire  on  theui ;  but  seeing  pur- 
suit useless,  which  surprised  the  missionary  still  more, 
they  regained  the  shore.  It  was  afterwards  ascertained 
that  on  arriving  at  their  town,  they  boasted  of  having 
killed  a  Jesuit  and  all  his  boatmen. 

Nor  was  it  indeed  without  difficulty  that  they  escaped, 
OS  long  as  their  enemies  kept  up  the  stubborn  chase ;  the

but  encouraged  by  the  miHsionary,  tbej  in  turn  alarmed 
the  Indians,  who,  apparently  having  now  neither  powder 
nor  balls,  threw  themselves  down  flat  in  their  periagua 
whenever  one  of  the  two  Frenchmen  aimed  at  them  an 
old  musket,  that  was  not  even  loaded,  and  they  at  last 
disappeared.  Our  party,  delivered  from  this  alarm,  dressed 
their  wounds  as  well  as  they  could,  then  lightened  their 
periagua  by  throwing  overboard  everything  not  absolutely 
needed,  and  keeping  only  a  little  raw  pork  for  their 
Bubsistenoe. 

On  coming  opposite  Natchez,  unconscious  of  what  had 
occurred  there,  they  ran  in  towards  the  landing,  intending 
to  rest  there  and  have  medical  aid ;  but  seeing  the  near- 
est houses  burned  or  demolished,  durst  not  land.  Some 
Indians  who  had  discovered  them,  in  vain  invited  them  to 
approach  by  making  every  demonstration  of  friendship; 
they  passed  on  as  quick  as  they  could.  Then  the  Indians 
fired  several  guns  at  them ;  but  they  were  already  out  of 
reach.  They  intended  also  to  pass  the  Bay  of  the  Toni- 
oas  without  stopping,  but  with  all  the  exertion  in  their 
power,  a  periagua,  sent  out  to  reconnoitre,  soon  over- 
hauled them.  They  gave  themselves  up  for  lost  past  all  re- 
source, till  they  heard  French  spoken  in  the  periagua. 
Then  they  lay  to,  and  they  recovered  entirely  from  their 
fright  on  seeing  some  Frenchmen  who  were  in  the  boat. 

They  were  taken  ashore,  where  they  found  troops  as- 
sembling to  go  and  punish  the  Natchez.  The  officers 
lavished  their  attentions  on  Father  Doutreleau,  had  his 
wounds  dressed  by  the  army  surgeon,  as  well  as  that  of 
his  boatman,  whose  leg  was  broken,  and  after  giving  them 
rest  and  refreshment,  they  placed  him  and  his  two  men 
ou  a  periagua,  which  they  were  sending  to  New  Orleans. 
He  promised  them  to  return  and  serve  as  their  chaplain 
as  soon  as  his  wounds  were  healed : '  he  kept  his  word,

doing  BO.'  But  before  eDtering  on  the  aooount  of  the  ezpe> 
dition  preparod  against  the  Natohez,  we  must  describe 
the  effect  produced  throughout  the  colony  by  the  iidings 
of  the  massacre  which  these  Indians  had  committed  on 
so  large  a  number  of  the  French. 

Mr.  Perrier  was  informed  of  it  on  the  second  of  De- 
cember.' He  at  once  dispatched  the  Siear  le  Merveilleux, 
a  Swiss  captain,  with  a  detachment  to  warn  all  the  set* 
tiers  on  both  sides  of  the  river  to  be  on  their  guard,  and 
to  throw  np  redoubts  at  intervals,  in  order  to  secure  their 
slaves  r^nd  cattle,  and  this  was  promptly  executed.  He 
then  etijoined  the  same  officer  to  observe  closely  the  small 
tribe  rf  on  the  river,  and  to  give  arms  to  no  Indians,  ex- 
cept when  and  to  whom  he  should  direct.  He  at  the 
same  time  dispatched  a  courier  to  summon  to  him  Iwo 
Ohoctaw  chiefs,  who  were  hunting  on  Lake  Pontohar- 
train.  The  next  day  a  periagua  from  Illinois  reached 
New  Orleans,  bringing  a  Choctaw,  who  asked  to  speak  to 
him  in  private.  He  admitted  him  at  once,  and  *Vt9  man 
told  him  that  he  was  greatly  affected  by  the  death  of  the 
French,  and  would  have  prevented  it  had  he  not  deemed  a 
falsehood  what  some  Ohiokasaws  had  told  him,  namely, 
that  all  the  Indians  were  to  destroy  all  the  French  settle- 
mento,  and  massacre  all  the  men.  "  What  prevented  me," 
he  added,  "from  crediting  this  story,  was  their  stating 
that  my  tribe  was  in  the  plot ;  but  Father,  if  you  will 
let  me  go  to  my  country,  I  will  immediately  return  to  ren- 
der  a  good  report  of  what  I  have  done  there." 

Mr.  Perrier  had  no  sooner  left  this  Indian  than  ot)'.er8 
from  the  smaller  tribes  came  to  warn  him  to  distrust  the 
Ghoota^s,  and  he  learned  almost  at  the  same  time  that 
two  Frenchmen  had  been  killed  in  the  neighborhood  of

1730.  Maubile;  tha<<  the  perpetxators  of  the  murder  had  not 
been  disoovered,  but  that  throughout  the  distriot  it  was 
said  openly  that  the  Ohootaws  were  to  attack  the  fort  and 
all  the  dwellings.  The  Oommandant-General  would  gladly 
have  concealed  this  news  from  the  settlers,  who  were  but 
too  panic-stricken  already ;  but  it  spread  all  over  in  less 
than  no  time,  and  the  consternation  became  so  great  and 
so  general  that  thirty  Ghaouachas,  who  lived  below  New 
Orleans,  made  the  whole  colony  tremble;  this  obliged 
Mr.  Perrier  to  send  negroes  and  destroy  them. 

On  the  fifth  he  adopted  the  plan  of  sending  the  Saint 
Michael  to  France,  to  inform  the  Court  and  Company  of 
the  condition  in  which  Louysiana  was,  and  ask  relief  pro- 
portioned to  its  actual  need.  Two  days  after,  one  of  the 
two  Choctaw  chiefs  whom  he  had  sent  for,  came  to  tell 
him  that  he  had  dispatched  his  letter  to  his  nation,  and 
invited  all  who  were  enemies  of  the  Natchez  to  march 
against  them,  and  that  he  advised  him  not  to  employ  the 
smaller  tribes,  as  he  suspected  them  of  being  in  concert 
with  the  Natchez.  "  I  also  suspect  them,"  said  Mr.  Per- 
rier, "  but  if  they  are  in  the  plot,  it  is  because  they  are 
convinced  that  you,  too,  are  implicated ;  however,  wheth- 
er you  are  or  not,  I  have  given  good  orders  everywhere, 
and  I  am  very  glad  that  you  know  that  the  secret  has 
taken  wind." 

On  the  first  day  of  January,  uneasy  at  not  receiving 
any  dispatches  from  the  Sieur  Begis,  who  by  his  ordurH 
resided  among  the  Choctaws,  he  dispatched  the  Sieur 
de  Lusser,  a  Swiss  captain,  to  ascertain  the  actual  dispo- 
sition of  these  Indians,  and  on  the  fourth  he  learned  that 
the  Natchez  had  gone  to  sing  the  calumet  to  them ;  this 
confirmed  all  his  suspicions,  and  threw  him  into  great  per- 
plexity.' But  on  the  16th  he  received  a  letter  from  the 
the  Sieur  Begis,  informing  him  that  immediately  after 
speaking  to  the  Choctaws  in  his  name,  they  had  raised

the  death-ory;  that  afterwards  seven  hundred  warriors  ^73o- 
had  set  out  to  attack  the  Natchez,  and  that  a  party  of  a 
hundred  and  fifty  was  to  pass  to  the  Yazoos,  to  intercept 
all  the  negroes  and  French  prisoners,  whom  they  wished 
to  conduct  to  the  Ohickasaws.  The  next  day  he  received 
letters  from  de  Saint  Denys,  the  commandant  at  the 
Natchitoches,  about  whom  he  was  much  concerned,  as 
some  Natchitoches  were  seen  among  the  Natchez  at  the 
time  of  the  massacre  of  the  French ;  but  he  learned  by 
these  letters  that  the  wisdom  and  vigilance  of  that  officer 
had  saved  him  from  the  disaster  threatening  his  post. 

He  had,  however,  great  difficulty  in  reassuring  the  set- 
tlers, whom  the  sad  tidings  brought  in  from  all  parts, 
almost  all  with  no  foundation,  but  an  alarmed  imagi- 
nation, had  hurled  at  once  from  excessive  confidence 
to  as  excessive  discouragement.  He  himself  felt  less 
sanguine,  as  he  was  fully  informed  that  the  smaller 
tribes  had  been  gained  by  the  Ohickasaws,  and  that 
if  the  Natchez  had  not  anticipated  the  day  fixed  for 
the  execution  of  the  plot,  they  would  have  acted  simulta- 
neously with  them.  He  also  discovered  that  what  had 
induced  the  Natchez  to  precipitate  their  meditated  blow, 
was  their  learning  that  at  the  very  time  that  the  first 
Choctaw  chiefs  who  had  come  to  New  Orleans  on  his 
invitation,  were  on  their  way  thither,  a  hundred  and 
twenty  horses  loaded  with  English  goods  had  entered 
their  country.  The  Natchez  were  convinced  that  these 
two  circumstances  were  the  most  fav'>rable  to  ensure  the 
success  of  the  project ;  that  the  two  Ohoctaw  chiefs  were 
going  to  delude  the  Commandaot-Qeneral  by  feigned 
protestations  of  fidelity,  and  that  their  nation,  seeing  that 
an  alliauce  with  the  English  would  bring  plenty  into  their 
country,  would  not  hesitate  to  keep  the  promise  they  had 
given  to  fill  all  on  the  Maubile  Biver  with  fire  and  blood. 

But  they  were  deceived :  the  Choctaws,  from  the  mo-  (jondnct  oi 
ment  they  received  the  general's  invitation  through  the 
Sieur  Begis,  began  by  declaring  that  they  would  not  re- 
ceive the  goods  from  the  English  till  they  had  learned

1730.  what  their  Father  wished  to  tell  them ;  and  on  the  rottim 
of  their  deputies,  they  resolved  to  follow  exactly  the  line 
of  policy  which  they  had  long  before  adopted.  Several 
years  before  they  had  wished  to  destroy  the  Natchez,  and 
the  French  had  prevented  them ;  they  had  pretended  to 
enter  the  general  conspiracy  only  to  involve  us  with  our 
enemies,  to  whom  we  had  granted  peace  in  spite  of  them, 
and  thus  force  us  to  apply  to  them  to  rid  ourselves  of 
them,  and  thus  at  the  same  time  profit  by  the  spoils  of 
the  Natchez  and  our  liberality. 

Perrier  had  not  yet  well  unravelled  all  the  meshes  of 
thif>  celf-interested  policy,  and  all  that  then  seemed  to 
him  certain,  was,  that  but  for  the  Western  Choctaws,  the 
general  conspiracy  would  have  taken  effect.  He  accord- 
ingly did  not  hesitate  to  employ  them  to  obtain  redress  of 
the  Natchez,  cost  what  it  might.  Fortunately  two  of  the 
Company's  vessels  arrived  at  New  Orleans  in  the  midst 
of  all  this,  and  he  did  not  wish  to  defer  any  longer  his 
march  against  the  enemy,  convinced  that  he  could  not  too 
soon  involve  the  Choctaws,  recall  the  smaller  tribes  to  our 
interest,  or  at  least  overawe  them  and  reassure  the  set- 
tlers. Yet  he  felt  that  he  ran  some  risk  by  beginning  the 
war  with  such  slender  forces.  "Do  not  estimate  my 
forces,"  he  said  in  one  of  his  letters,  (March  18,  1720,) 
"  by  the  step  I  have  taken  in  attacking  the  enemy ;  neces- 
sity compelled  me.  I  saw  consternation  everywhere,  and 
fear  increased  day  by  day.  In  this  position  I  concealed 
the  number  of  our  foes,  and  treated  the  idea  of  a  general 
conspiracy  as  chimerical,  an  invention  of  the  Natchez  to 
prevent  our  acting  against  them.  If  I  had  been  at  liberty 
to  adopt  the  most  prudent  course,  I  should  have  held  my- 
self on  the  defensive,  and  waited  for  reinforcements  from 
France,  lest  I  should  be  reproached  with  having  sacrificed 
two  hundred  Frenchmen  of  the  five  or  six  hundred  whom  I 
may  have,  for  the  defence  of  the  lower  part  of  the  river. 
The  event  has  shown  that  we  must  not  always  adopt  what 
is  seemingly  the  most  prudent  course.  We  were  in  a 
position  where  violent  remedies  were  required,  and  it  was

necessary  to  inspire  alarm,  if  we  could  not  do  harm.  i730- 
Chance  has  permitted  us  to  do  both,  and  come  honorably  ""  »  ~^' 
out  of  an  affair,  the  success  of  which  has  given  us  time 
to  understand  our  position.  "We  have  recovered  more 
than  two  hundred  women  and  children,'  all  our  negroes, 
and  brought  our  enemies  to  the  necessity  of  abandoning 
their  forts  and  their  lands.  If  we  could  have  kept  our  In- 
dians two  or  three  days  longer,  not  a  single  Natchez 
would  have  escaped ;  their  destruction  is  merely  deferred 
by  the  measures  that  I  have  taken.  I  do  not  regard 
them  as  our  most  cruel  enemies ;  the  Chickasaws  really 
are ;  they  are  entirely  devoted  to  the  English,  and  have 
managed  all  the  intrigue  of  the  general  conspiracy, 
although  they  are  at  peace  with  us.  I  have  avoided  urg- 
ing the  Choctaws  to  make  war  on  them  till  I  received 
reinforcements  and  orders  from  France,  although  they 
asked  nothing  better ;  but  they  are  so  self-seeking,  that  it 
would  cost  us  much  to  get  them  to  make  a  move,  which  I 
feel  convinced  they  will  make  of  their  own  accord,  from 
grounds  of  dissatisfaction  of  their  own." ' 

As  or  the  plan  adopted  by  the  General,  the  most  ur-  They  arm 
gent  point  was  to  make  sure  of  the  Choctaws  and  other  '^ntchea. 
nations  nearest  to  the  Fort  of  Maubile,  he  made  known 
the  first  tidings  of  the  Natchez  disaster  as  soon  as  he  re- 
ceived them,  to  Mr.  Diron,'  who  commanded  at  that  post, 
and  by  a  second  letter,  which  was  handed  to  that  officer 
on  the  16th  of  December,  he  directed  him  to  sound  the 
Choctaws,  to  see  whether  he  could  depend  upon  them. 
The  difficulty  was  to  find  a  man  wilUng  to  run  the  risk  of 
putting  himself  at  the  mercy  of  these  savages,  wh»se  dis- 
position was  then  doubtful  enough,  and  to  whom  we  could 
as  yet  only  make  promises.     Mr.  le  Sueur,*  who  had

oome  'when  quite  joang  from  his  native  Canada  to  Lony- 
siana,  and  had  grown  up  among  these  tribes,  counted 
enough  on  the  friendship  which  all  the  Indians,  and  these 
especially,  had  ever  shown  him  to  offer  to  go  to  them. 
His  offer  was  accepted,  and  he  set  out  from  Fort 
Maubile  on  the  nineteenth.  With  great  toil  he  visited  all 
the  villages;  he  was  well  received  everywhere,  and  had 
no  great  di£Sculty  in  forming  the  corps  of  seven  hundred 
warriors  of  whom  I  have  spoken,  and  whom  he  led 
straight  against  the  Natchez. 

On  his  side,  Ferrier  sent  up  to  the  Tonioas  two  of  the 
Company's  vessels.  He  sent  overland  warning  to  all  the 
posts,  as  far  as  the  Illiuois,  of  what  had  happened  and 
what  he  intended  to  do.  He  dug  a  ditch  around  New  Or- 
leans ;  he  placed  barracks  at  its  four  angles ;  he  organ- 
ized militia  companies  for  the  defence  of  the  city,  and  as 
there  was  more  to  fear  for  the  settlements  and  conces- 
sions than  for  the  capital,  he  threw  up  entrenchments 
everywhere,  and  erected  forts  in  the  most  exposed  points ; 
he  finally  prepared  to  go  and  take  command  of  his  little 
army  which  was  assembling  in  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas. 
But  it  was  represented  to  him  that  his  presence  was  abso- 
lutely required  at  New  Orleans;  that  we  were  not  yet 
perfectly  sure  of  the  Choctaws,  and  that  there  was  even  a 
fear  that  the  negroes,  if  these  Indians  declared  against  us, 
would  join  them  in  the  hope  of  escaping  from  slavery,  as 
some  had  done  at  Natchez.  He  accordingly  judged  it 
best  to  confide  the  expedition  to  the  Chevalier  de  Lou- 
bois.  Major  of  New  Orleans,  whose  valor  and  experience 
he  knew.' 
DUposition  "I^he  first  effect  of  his  preparations  was  to  restore  to  our 
**india^  side  the  small  Mississippi  tribes,  who  had  abandoned  it, 
as  Mr.  le  Sueur  regained  those  around  Maubile.  We  were 
sure  of  the  affection  and  fidelity  of  the  Illinois,  Akansas, 


tribes.

Natobitoches,  and  they  all  gave  striking  proofs  of  it  in  ~'~ ^~^ 
the  course  of  this  war.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Natchez 
beemed  to  behold  without  alarm  the  storm  gathering 
against  them.  They  did  not  at  first  deepair  of  wixming 
over  the  Tonicas,  and  on  the  9th  of  December  sent  to 
them  the  Tioux,  a  little  tribe  long  domiciliated  among 
them,  to  offer  them  some  of  the  plunder  taken  from  the 
French,  in  order  to  win  them  over  to  their  side.  They 
did  not  succeed  in  this,  but  killed  two  straggling  French- 
men whom  they  found. 

On  the  10th,  the  Sieur  le  Merveilleux  entered  that  bay  The  French 
with  his  detachment  and  some  Frenchmen  who  had 
joined  him.  He  entrenched  for  fear  of  surprise.  The 
following  days  all  the  troops  arrived,  and  on  the  18th  the 
Chevalier  de  Loubois  entered  it  with  twenty-five  additional 
soldiers.'  He  found  the  whole  army  encamped,  well  en- 
trenched, and  in  good  condition.  He  had  two  days  pre- 
viously detached  the  Sieur  Mexplex  with  five  men  to  ob- 
tain tidings  of  the  enemy,  and,  the  better  to  ascertain 
their  strength,  he  had  ordered  him  to  throw  out  some 
proposals  of  peace ;  but  as  he  was  on  the  point  of  land- 
ing, he  received  a  volley  of  musketry,  which  killed  three 
of  his  men,  leaving  him  and  two  others  prisoners.  The 
next  day  the  Natchez  sent  one  of  these  latter  to  Mr.  de 
Loubois  to  make  proposals  also  on  their  side,  but  they  as- 
sumed a  haughty  tone,  which  revealed  great  confidence 
and  great  contempt  for  us. 

They  asked  in  the  first  place  that  we  should  give  as 
hostage  the  Sieur  Brouttin,  who  had  commanded  among 
them,  and  the  Great  Chief  of  the  Tonicas.  They  then 
specified,  with  great  detail,  all  the  goods  they  required  for 
the  ransom  of  the  women,  children  and  slaves,  whom  they 
had  in  their  hands  ;  and  although  their  demands  were  ex- 
orbitant, they  seemed  to  suppose  that  we  would  be  only 
too  happy  to  accept  them.  It  was  afterwards  ascertained 
that,  adding  treachery  to  insolence,  their  design  was  to

selfish  impetuosity  of  his  Indians,*  who  wished  to  have 
the  best  part  of  the  booty,  and  also  profit  by  the  prison- 
ers whom  they  delivered,  for  the  sequel  leads  us  to  infer 
this.  Be  that  as  it  may,  they  charged  the  enemy  so 
fiercely  that  they  killed  eighty  men,  took  sixteen  women 
prisoners,*  delivered  fifty-one  French  women  and  child- 
ren, the  two  mechanics  whom  the  Natchez  had  spared,

not  those  of  our  negroes,  whom  the  Natchez  had  won

men  and  some  field-pieces ;  on  the  8th  he  arrived  at  the  foiu. 
Natchez  and  encamped  around  the  temple.  On  the  12th 
the  cannon  were  placed  in  battery  before  one  of  the  two  In- 
dian forts,  and  as  it  was  supposed  that  these  preparations, 
especially  after  the  defeat  they  had  received,  would 
induce  them  to  submit  to  all  exacted  of  them,  they 
were  notified  that  they  might  still  avoid  their  total 
ruin  by  this  submission ;  but  tliey  were  found  more  reso- 
lute than  ever  to  defend  themselves.'  Accordingly  de 
Loubois  opened  next  morning  with  seven  cannon ;  but 
they  were  two  hundred  and  fifty  fathoms  from  the  fort, 
and  they  were  so  badly  handled  that,  after  six  hours'  con- 
stant fire,  they  had  not  dislodged  a  single  palisade,  which 
put  the  Choctawa  in  a  very  bad  humor,  as  they  had  been 
assured  that  a  large  breach  would  be  made  in  two  hours. 
On  tlie  other  hand,  the  insolence  and  avidity  of  these  In- 
dians, whom  nothing  could  satisfy,  and  who  wasted  a 
part  of  the  munitions  given  them,  disgusted  the  French 
commandant  as  much  as  the  desperate  resistance  of  the 
Natchez. 

On  the  15th  he  again  wished  to  try  whether  they  had 
not  become  more  tractable ;  he  sent  them  an  interpreter

1 730-     with  a  flag  to  summon  them ;  but  they  received  this  envoy 
~^^  ^  '  with  a  volley  of  musketry,  which  alarmed  him  so  that  in 
his  fear  he  threw  aside  his  flag     It  would  have  fallen  into 
the  enemy's  hands,  if  a  young  soldier  had  not  had  the 
courage  to  go  and  recover  it,  exposing  himself  to  the  fire 
of  the  besieged;  an    exploit    which    on    his  return  to 
camp  won  his  promotion  to  the  rank  of  sergeant.     The 
same  day  the  Natchez  made  a  sortie,  with  a  view  to  sur- 
prise de  Loubois,  who  was  quartered  in  their  temple,  but 
it  failed.    During  the  night  of  the  19th-20tb,  a  trench 
was  opened  two  hundred  and  eighty  fathoms  from  the 
fort,  and  on  the   2l8t  the  cannonade  was  rene-ad.    "If 
the  opening  of  the  trench  was  so  long  delayed,  this  de- 
lay," says  Mr.  Perrier,  in  one  of  his  letters,  "was  caused 
by  the  ill-will  of  our  soldiers  and  some  other  Frenchmen, 
who    thereby    prevented   the  entire  destruction  of  the 
Natchez." 
Thcjr  mnkc     On  the  22nd,  these  Indians  made  a  second  sortie,  to 
Vlua^^tic  the  numbcT  of  three  hundred,'  attacking  in  three  places; 
They^are  they  surprised,  in  the  trench,  an  outpost  of  thirty  men 
ropubcu  by  ^^^  ^^^  officers,  who  all  took  flight,  imagining  that  they 
^(TArtll^'  were  attacked  simultaneously  by  the  Natchez  and  the 
Kueite.     ctioctaws ;  they  were  ready  to  seize  the  cannon,  when  the 
ChevaUer  d'Artaguette  came  up,  and   although  he  had 
only  five  men  with  him,  he  repulsed  the  enemy,  and  re- 
covered the  trench.     We  had  only  one  man  killed  that 
day.    The  same  day  de  Loubois  ordered  forty  soldiers, 
as  many  Indians,  and  some  negroes,  to  storm  the  two 
forts  the  next  day ;  but  this  was  not  carried  out.     On  the 
24tb,  a  battery  of  four  four  pounders  was  planted  within 
a  hundred  and  eighty  fathoms,  and  at  the  same  time  they 
threatened  to  reduce  the  besieged  to  powder,  if  they  did  not 
surrender  the  prisoners  they  held.    They  immediately  sent 
back  the  wife  of  the  Sieur  Desnoyers,  to  whom  they  confided 
their  proposals.    She  was  retained  and  no  answer  sent.'

Perrier  pretends  that  what  obliged  de  Loubois  to  rest  1 730- 
satisfied  with  saving  the  prisoners  still  in  the  hands  of  the  -^r-^' 
Indians,  without  attempting  an  assault,  was,  in  the  first  wbatsared 
place,  because  he  could  not  depend  upon  his  troops,  espe-  bMieged. 
uially  after  seeing  them  abandon  the  trench,  as  thej  did 
on  the  22nd;  in  the  second  place,  that  the  Choctaws 
were  suspected  of  a  design  of  betraying  us ;  thirdly,  that 
the  enemy  had  spread  the  report  that  the  Chickasaws 
and  EngUsh  were  coming  to  their  assistance.  Meanr 
while,  on  the  25th,  the  fort  most  closely  invested '  hoisted 
a  flag.  A  Choctaw  chief  at  once  advanced  with  a  party 
of  his  men,  to  speak  to  the  besieged.  "  Do  you  remem- 
ber, or  have  you  ever  seen,"  said  he,  "  that  Indians  ever 
kept  the  field  in  such  numbers  before  a  fort  for  two 
months  ?  Judge  by  this  our  zeal  for  the  French.  Hence 
it  is  useless  for  you,  a  mere  handful  of  men  compared 
with  us,  to  refuse  any  longer  obstinately  to  give  up  the 
prisoners  whom  you  hold,  for  if  the  French  were  to  fire 
all  their  cannon,  you  would  soon  be  in  powder.  For  our 
part,  know  that  we  are  resolved  to  keep  you  blockaded 
here  till  you  submit  to  what  is  required  of  you,  if  we  have 
to  plant  grain  and  settle  here." 

Perrier  assures  us,  in  his  letters,  that  in  this  parley,  or 
in  some  other  interview,  the  Natchez  reproached  the 
Choctaws  in  the  presence  of  the  French,  with  having 
themselves  entered  the  general  conspiracy,  of  which  they 
gave  all  the  particulars.* 

The  fact  is,  that  these  Indians  hoisted  their  flag  only  They  k1v« 
to  make  known  that  they  consented  to  give  up  the  prison- 
ers ;  but  they  at  the  same  time  declared  that  we  must  be  *una 
satisfied  with  that,  and  before  all  else,  the  army  with  its 
cannon  must  withdi'aw  to  the  bank  of  the  river ;  if  not 
that,  they  would  bum  all  their  prisoners.  This  last  con- 
sideration determined  de  Loubois  to  do  what  was  asked 
of  him,  yet  without  abandoning  his  design  to  prevent  the

1730-  escape  of  the  Nutohez.  On  the  25th,  the  priaouers  were 
given  up  to  the  Ohootaws,  and  the  army  withdrew  to  the 
blu£f  on  the  riverside,  having  had  during  the  wholu  siege 
oulj  nine  men  killed  and  wounded.'  On  the  night  of  the 
28th-29th,  the  Natchez,  having  succeeded  in  outwitting 
the  French  who  had  been  appointed  to  watch  them,  es- 
caped, and  this  was  perceived  only  when  it  was  too  late  to 
pursue  them.*  Thus  the  sole  fruit  of  this  expedition  was 
the  rescue  of  the  prisoners,  who  had  next  to  be  ransomed 
from  the  Ohoctaws,^  and  the  erection  of  a  fort  on  the 
very  spot  to  which  they  had  retired.  The  Chevalier 
d'Artaguette,*  who  had  extremely  distinguished  himself  in 
all  the  engagements,  was  left  as  commandant  with  a  gar- 
rison, in  order  to  secure  the  navigation  of  the  river. 

It  is  admitted  that  the  soldiers  acted  very  badly  at  the 
siege;  that  fifteen  negroes,  who  were  put  under  arms, 
fought  like  heroes,  and  that  if  all  the  others  could  have 
been  armed  and  put  in  the  place  of  the  soldiers,  they 
would  have  succeeded  iu  storming  the  besieged  works. 
The  settlers,  commanded  by  d'Arembourg  and  de  Laye, 
also  did  very  well."  They  cheerfully  undertook  all  the 
labors,  and  whatever  else  was  ordered.  "  These  Creoles," 
says  Mr.  Perrier,  "  will  be  good  soldiers  as  suou  as  they 
are  drilled.  In  fine,  the  Natchez  were  reduced  to  the 
last  extremity ;  two  days  more  and  we  should  have  seen 
them  with  their  necks  in  the  halter ;  but  we  were  every

tawB,  who  grow  very  impatient,  aud  their  departure  would     >  73°- 
have  exposed  the  French  to  receive  a  check,  and  to  be-    -^t-^' 
hold  their  women,   children  and  slaves  burned,  as  their 
enemies  threuteued." 

Before  resolving  to  make  war  on  the  Nutohez,  the  Choc-  limotenca 
taws  had  gone  to  them  to  enter  into  some  negotiation  ciiucumi 
with  them,  uud  they  had  met  with  a  strange  enough  recep* 
tioQ.  They  found  these  Indians  and  their  horses  decked 
with  chasubles  and  antependiums ;  many  wore  patens 
around  their  necks ;  drank  and  made  others  drink  brandy 
out  of  the  chalices  and  ciboriums.  lu  a  word,  they  found 
nothing  in  the  chapel  that  they  had  not  put  to  the  most 
profane  and  sacrilegious  use.  This  highly  pleased  the 
Choctuws,  who  in  the  sequel,  securing  this  booty,  renewed 
the  profanation  committed  by  their  enemies,  and  it  was 
found  impossible  to  rescue  all  from  their  hands.  More- 
over, had  these  savages  rendered  the  French  all  the  ser- 
vice in  their  power,  by  acting  in  concert  with  them,  their 
evil  dinpusition  always  made  them  most  odious  to  the 
uolouy.  "  There  had  never  yet  been  seen  in  all  America," 
wrote  u  missionary,  eye-witness  of  everything  then  occur- 
ring, "  Indians  more  insolent,  more  ferocious,  more  disgust- 
ing, uiure  importunate,  more  insatiable." 

However,  they  were  still  needed,  and  had  to  be  man- 
aged. The  Natchez  were  not  destroyed ;  they  could  in 
future  be  regarded  only  as  irreconcilable  enemies,  and  it 
was  to  be  expected  that  as  long  as  they  subsisted,  they 
would  do  us  through  themselves  and  through  the  enemies 
whom  they  would  endeavor  to  raise  up  against  us,  all  the 
evil  possible  to  savages,  who  had  no  terms  to  make.  The 
Chickasaws  did  not  yet  i  pear,  but  we  were  conscious 
that  they  were  the  authors  ol  the  whole  trouble,  and  their 
engagements  with  the  English  ir>ft  no  doubt  but  that  they 
would  be  powerfully  supported  by  the  latter  whenever  ' 
they  thought  fit  to  lift  the  mask.  The  sequel  only  justi- 
fied these  suspicions. 

Among  the  negroes  recovered  from    ae  Natchez,  were 
some  of  those  who  had  taken  part  against  us,  and  these

Yazoos,  Corrois  and  Tiouz,  were  not  more  fortuuute  tbau 
the  Natchez.    The  Akausas  fell  ou  them  aud  made  a  per- 
fect massacre;   of   the  two  former  uatious,  only  fifteen 
Indians  remained,  wbo  hastened  to  join  the  Natchez ;  the 
Tioux  were  all  killed  to  a  man. 
., ,  T>>«         About  the  same  time  it  was  discovered  that  the  Chicka-

fldoiUv  of  Tonicas  into  the  general  conspuaoj,  had  applied  also,  but 
with  as  little  success,  to  the  Illinois ;  these  Indians  reply- 
ing curtly,  that  as  they  were  all  Christians,  the  Chiokasaws 
must  never  expect  to  detach  them  from  the  French ;  that 
they  would  always  place  themselves  between  them  and 
their  enemies,  wbo  would  have  to  trample  over  their 
dead  bodies  before  they  could  touch  one  of  the  French. 
They  soon  after  learned  what  had  been  done  at  the  Nat- 
chez and  Yazoos,  and  at  once  two  troops  of  Mitchigamias 
and  Easkasquias,  led  by  the  two  head  chiefs  of  those  two 
Illinois  tribes,  descended  to  New  Orleans,  to  bewail  the 
missionaries  who  had  perished  in  that  massacre,  and  o£fer 
the  General  all  who  depended  on  tbem  to  avenge  the 
French.  Mr.  Ferrier  gave  them  audience  with  much 
pomp,  and  they  spoke  as  Christians  and  faithful  allies,  in 
a  manner  that  charmed  all.  Nor  did  they  edify  the  whole 
city  less  by  their  piety  and  the  correctness  of  their  con- 
duct, aud  they  took  leave  of  the  General,  promising  him 
to  guard  well  their  own  country,  and  all  the  upper  part  of 
the  river.

munccM^  exhorted  the  Choctaws  to  declare  against  us,  and  support- 

^^  ed  their  solicitations  by  large  presents,  and  he  wrote  to

employed  those  IndiauH,  you  would  be  always  at  the  mer-  -^  »"^' 
oy  of  their  ouprioe  and  iuoonstanoy ;  that  they  got  the 
idea  that  we  applied  to  them  only  beoauso  we  were  inca- 
pable of  making  war,  and  ao  prevalent  hud  this  opinion 
become  among  all  these  nations,  that  the  smallest,  putty 
tribe  regarded  itself  as  the  bulwark  and  protection  of 
the  colony.  That  after  five  vi  six  year.<4,  the  num- 
ber of  troops  might  be  gradually  decreased,  us  during 
that  time  the  creolea  would  multiply  and  be  trained ;  that 
then  we  should  have  even  more  Indians  ready  to  side 
with  us  when  they  saw  that  we  no  longer  needed  them. 

For  some  time  the  Natchez  hud  not  been  heard  of,  but  ^,'^!' 
at  last  tidings  came  that  thoy  were  renewing  their  raids ;  rono.r  thoii 
that  they  h'^d  surprised  ten  Frenchmen  and  twenty  ue- 
groeti,  and  that  none  had  escaped  but  a  young  soldier, 
who  had  already  escaped  the  great  massacre  of  November 
28th,  and  two  negroes.  The  General  then  saw  that  no 
time  was  to  be  lost  in  ren''  ring  that  nation  utterly  inca- 
pable of  injuring  us ;  and  as  the  intrigues  of  the  EInglish 
among  the  Choctaws  bad  increased  his  anxiety  in  regard 
to  those  Indians,  he  deemed  it  imperative  to  begin  by 
setting  his  mind  at  rest  in  regard  to  them.  He  accord- 
ingly resolved  on  having  an  explanation  from  the  chiefs, 
and  notified  them  of  his  wish  to  have  an  interview  with 
them  at  Maubile.  He  fixed  a  time  when  he  would  go 
there,  and  when  he  judged  that  they  would  soon  arrive, 
he  left  New  Orleans,  where  his  presence  was  less  necessa- 
ry now  that  reinforcements  had  arrived  from  France,  as  I 
shall  soon  explain. 

On  landing,  he  found  that  they  had  anticipated  the  day 
by  twenty-four  hours.  He  was  even  agreeably  surprised 
to  see  there  the  Chief  of  the  Caouitas,  a  numerous  tribe, 
strongly  attached  to  the  English,  and  a  Chickasaw  chief. 
He  began  by  inquiring  from  the  Sieur  Regis,  from  Father 
liuudoin,  the  Jesuit  who  was  endeavoring  to  estubUsh  a 
ujissiou  among  the  Choctaws,  and  from  the  interpretern, 
what  effect  had  been  produced  on  the  mind  of  the  Indians

104  HISTORY  OF  NEW  FRAliCS. 

'730-  by  the  arrival  of  troops  from  France;  and  they  told  him 
that  most  (of  the  chiefs)  had  hesitated  whether  they 
should  attend  the  conference,  for  fear  some  trap  should  be 
sprung  on  them,  fully  conscious  that  the  French  had 
ground  to  be  dissatisfied  with  them ;  but  that  some  of  the 
Western  chiefs  had  answered  for  the  good  faith  of  our 
nation,  adding :  "  It  is  the  EngUsh  who  corrupt  our  mind." 

Persuaded  by  this  language,  they  had  started  for  Mau- 
bile,  which  they  entered  on  the  26th  of  October,  to  the 
number  of  eight  hundred  men.  On  the  28th,  Ferrier, 
who  liad  arrived  on  the  27th,  began  to  treat  with  them, 
and  he  had  to  submit  to  a  hundred  and  tifty  harangues, 
which  took  up  a  week.  The  substance  of  all  was  that 
the  Indians  begged  him  to  assure  the  King  of  their 
inviolable  fidelity ;  that  they  would  never  forget  that  he  it 
was  who  hud  made  men  of  them,  and  rendered  them  a 
terror  to  their  neighbors ;  that  some  rumors  unfavorable 
to  the  French  had  indeed  circulated  in  their  villages,  but 
that  such  language  came  only  from  some  madcaps,  and 
that  the  chiefs  and  sachems  had  not  been  parties  to  it ; 
that  they  begged  him  not  to  blame  them  for  it,  and  to  for- 
get the  past.  This  he  promised,  and  spoke  to  them  only 
concerning  the  negroes  retaken  from  the  Natchez,  whom 
they  still  kept,  although  they  had  pledged  their  word  to 
bring  them  into  the  colony.  They  repUed  that  they  had 
always  intended  to  bring  them  back,  but  that  their  mas- 
ters  must  send  for  them,  because  some  whom  they  tried 
t^  bring  back  killed  themselves  on  the  way. 

Although  a  good  understanding  seemed  quite  well  re- 
stored between  the  Eastern  and  the  Western  Choctaws, 
the  General  nevertheless  perceived  that  they  were  still 
somewhat  jealous  of  each  other,  and  as  he  was  much 
surer  of  the  latttr  than  of  the  former,  he  represented  to 
those  that  it  was  necessary  for  them  to  have  a  head  chief 
like  the  others.  He  added  that  for  this  dignity  he  had 
cast  his  eyes  on  the  Chief  of  the  Castachas,'  whom  they

knew  to  be  a  brave  and  capable  man  of  ancient  family. 
They  replied  that  they  approved  this  choice,  and  with 
pleasure  accepted  this  Head  Chief  at  his  hands.  He 
showed  the  warmest  friendship  to  the  great  Chief,  whom 
he  styles  in  his  letters  the  "  Emperor  of  the  Caouitas,"  '  to 
whom  he  made  a  suitable  present ;  it  pleased  him  greatly, 
and  he  declared  that  he  would  be  de'i'oted  to  the  French 
as  long  as  he  lived ;  that  he  saw  that  the  advice  we  gave 
was  always  good  ;  that  he  wished  the  English  thought  as 
they  did,  as  all  nations  would  be  the  happier  for  it. 

Mr.  Perrier  also  gave  audience  to  the  Chickasaw  chief, 
but  adopted  a  diiferent  tone  with  him.  He  told  him, 
however,  that  he  was  very  glad  to  see  him ;  that  when  his 
nation  returned  to  its  duty,  he  would  treat  it  like  the  rest, 
and  that  it  depended  on  them  to  live  calmly  and  happily  ; 
that  he  was  ignorant  of  none  of  their  intrigues,  but  that 
he  would  resume  his  paternal  feelings  for  them,  when  they 
themselv&s  acted  as  submissive  and  obedient  children. 
This  man  made  no  reply,  but  a  week  after,  he  asked  the 
Castacha  chief  to  tell  the  General  that  they  were  unhap- 
py, and  really  worthy  of  compassion ;  that  since  he  had  with- 
drawn the  French  who  traded  with  them,  all  the  northern 
nations  made  unrelenting  war  on  them.  Perrier  told  the 
one  who  spoke  thus  to  assure  that  chief  that  no  nation  of 
his  province  should  attack  them,  as  long  as  they  gave  him 
no  other  cause  of  complaint,  but  that  he  did  uot  answer 
for  the  Canada  Indians,  as  they  were  thoroughly  con- 
vinced that  they  were  enemies  of  the  French ;  that  they 
must  prove  the  contrary  by  unequivocal  acts. 

The  most  delicate  point  on  which  Mr.  Perrier  had  to 
treat  with  the  Choctaws,  was  trade.  He  knew  that  they 
complained  loudly  of  the  dearness  of  our  goods,  nor  was 
he  unaware  that  the  English  had  promised  to  furnish 
their  goods  at  half  any  price  we  might  set  on  ours.  On 
the  other  hand,  he  was  well  convinced  that  if  he  made 
the  deduction  they  asked,  they  would  in  six  months  de- 
maud  another.     He  thought,  however,  he  might  gratify

""""^^^^  only  with  us,  and  this  was  in  part  to  avoid  being  after- 
wards exposed  to  new  importunities  on  this  point,  and  in 
part  to  show  them  that  the  French  were  sufficient  in 
themselves,  and  that  he  did  not  wish  to  employ  them  in 
the  new  expedition  he  was  preparing  against  the  Natchez. 
Reinfor         What  had  rendered  the  Choctaws  so  easy  to  manage 
menu     was,  on  the  one  hand,  the  arrival  of  reinforcements  from 

arrive  from  . 

France.  France,  which  they  overrated  beyond  their  actual  strength, 
and  on  the  other  the  unexpectedly  good  reception  accorded 
them  by  Mr.  Ferrier.  The  reinforcements  had  come  on  the 
Somme,  King's  storeship,  commanded  by  Perrier  de  Sal- 
vert,  brother  of  the  Commandant-General.'  He  passed 
the  bar  of  the  Micissipi  without  any  difficulty  on  the  8th 
of  August,  low  as  the  waters  were,  though  his  vessel,  even 
after  discharging  a  part  of  the  cargo  at  the  storehouses 
on  Isle  Toulouse,  (or  BaUse,)  drew  fourteen  feet  eight 
inches  of  water.  On  the  15th  he  anchored  before  New 
Orleans,  and  in  a  letter  which  he  wrote  to  the  Count  de 
Maurepas,  on  the  15th  of  November,  he  informed  that 
Minister  that  1<a  found  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  colony  in 
great  alarm ;  that  the  few  troops  left  his  brother,  were 
not  good  enough  tu  keep  all  in  the  line  of  duty  ;  that  the 
poor  recruits  sent  over  by  the  Company,  far  from  reassur- 
ing the  colony,  had  increased  the  alarm ;  that  out  of  a  hun- 
dred men  drawn  from  the  regiments,  only  sixty  had  ar- 
rived, with  no  explanation  of  the  detention  of  the  others 
at  rOrient;  that  his  brother  had  asked  six  field-pieces, 
six  small  mortars,  balls  and  shells,  none  of  which  had 
come;  that  they  would  be  obliged  to  use  periaguas  to 
transport  troops,  provisions  and  munitions,  for  want  of 
more  convenient  boats  ;  that  the  Natchez,  joined  by  some 
other  small  tribes,  were  entrenched  in  three  forts;  that 
their  ravages  on  the  river  intercepted  trade,  and  that 
there  was  no  difficulty  in  seeing  whence  their  support  came. 
The  trifling  aid  so  impatiently  expected,  was  doubtless

what  had  deferred  the  project  of  closing  the  war  by 
storming  the  intrenchmeuts  of  the  Natchez,  as  it  now  re- 
quired levies  of  settlers  and  Indians  to  make  up  for  it. 
And  it  wp,s  after  giving  orders  for  this,  that  Perrier  pro- 
ceeded to  Maubile  to  confer  with  the  Choctaws,  not  to 
ask  those  Indians  to  join  him  in  his  expedition,  since  he 
was,  as  we  have  seen,  resolved  to  act  without  them,  but 
to  prevent  their  accepting  the  commercial  offers  made  by 
the  EngUsh,  and  to  retain  them  in  our  alliance. 

This  accompUshed,  he  returned  to  New  Orleans,'  where  ^^0  army 
he  found  the  army  ready  to  march.  His  first  step  was  to  it«  order, 
send  the  Sieur  de  Coulonge,  a  Canadian,  to  the  Akansas, 
who  were  to  assemble  at  the  French  fort  at  Natchez. 
The  Sieur  de  Beaulieu  embarked  with  him,  with  orders 
to  reconnoitre  the  enemy's  condition.  Oii  the  9th  of  De- 
cember, Mr.  de  Salvert  embarked  with  two  hundred  men ; 
including  three  companies  of  marines,  the  rest  volunteers 
or  sailors  from  the  Somme.'  On  Monday,  the  11th,  Mr. 
Perrier  set  out  with  a  company  of  grenadiers,  two  of  fusi- 
liers, and  some  volunteers.  This  detachment  was  also 
two  hundred  strong ;  Captain  de  Benac  commanding  the 
militia,  followed  on  the  13th  with  eighty  men ;  he  was  to 
have  a  hundred  and  fifty,  but  the  rest  joined  him  on  the 
way. 

On  the  20th,  the  whole  force  having  united  at  the  Ba- 
yagoulas,  a  Colapissa  chief  arrived  there  with  forty  war- 
riors of  his  tribe.  The  militia  companies  were  organized 
at  this  place,  and  a  company  of  cadets  selected  from 
them,  but  soon  suppressed.  Mr.  le  Sueur  had  orders  the 
next  day  to  load  the  demi-galley  which  he  commanded, 
and  to  push  on  to  Bed  Eiver,  which  he  was  to  ascend ;  for 
although  it  was  not  precisely  known  where  the  Natchez 
were,  they  were  supposed,  beyond  doubt,  to  be  on  the 
Black,  or  Kiver  of  the  Ouatchitas,  which  empties  into 
the  Bed  ten  leagues  above  its  entrance  into  the  Micissipi. 

On  the  22nd,  they  set  out  from  the  Bayagoulas  in  this

order:  The  army  was  divided  into  three  battalions,  or 
'  three  squadrons.  The  marines  under  de  Salvert  on  the 
right,  the  militia  under  de  Benac  on  the  left ;  the  General 
in  the  centre,  having  under  him  the  Baron  de  Cresnay 
commandant  of  the  Louysiana  troops,  the  Chevalier 
d'Artaguette  commanding  the  grenadier  company,  the 
Sieur  Baron  acting  as  engineer,  and  the  fusileers ;  a  part 
of  the  latter  were  at  the  French  fort  at  Natchez,  whence 
Mr.  de  Lusser  was  to  march  with  them  to  Bed  Biver. 
The  negroes  were  scattered  in  different  boats,  and  the  In- 
dians, who  had  not  all  assembled  yet,  were  to  form  a 
corps  by  themselves. 

On  the  27th  they  had  made  but  little  progress,  as 
snows  and  rain  had  swollen  the  river  and  increased  its  cur- 
rents, while  the  fogs  were  so  dense  and  continual  as  to 
force  them  every  moment  to  stop. 

This  day  news  came  that  de  Coulonges  and  de  Beau- 
lieu  had  been  attacked  by  the  Natchez,  and  that  of  twen- 
ty-four men  in  the  French  batteau,  sixteen  had  been 
killed  or  wounded ;  Beaulieu  among  the  former,  and  Cou- 
longes among  the  latter.'  To  crown  the  disastrous  intelli- 
gence, it  was  also  reported  that  the  Akansas,  weary  of 
hearing  no  tidings  of  the  French  force,  had  gone  home. 
Perrier  halted  some  time  at  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas,  to 
assemble  the  Indians,  who  had  not  yet  come  in ;  he  was 
blamed  for  not  having  arranged  to  send  them  on  in  ad- 
vance to  blockade  the  Natchez  in  their  fort ;  but  he  prob- 
ably had  not  sufficient  couiideuce  in  these  Indians  to  en- 
trust them  with  a  movement  on  which  all  the  success  of 
the  campaign  depended.  The  Canadians,  who  readily 
blamed  everything  that  was  done,  since  the  colony  was  no 
longer  governed  by  one  of  themselves,  judged  the  Louy- 
siana by  the  Canada  Indians,  and  in  this  were  mistaken. 
Perrier  might  have  manoeuvred  differently  if  he  had  had 
Abeuaquis,  Hurous,  Algonquins  and  Iroquois  to  deal  with, 
all  Christians,  and  long  domiciliated  among  us.

who  now  amounted  to  a  hundred  and  fifty  of  various  na-  '—"^f^^ 
tions.     He  had  some  days  before  ordered  de  Beuac  to  as-  iDdncluty 
cend  to  our  Natchez  fort  to  obtain  information.     He  re-     Indian 
turned  on   the  ninth  without  having  seen   anything  or     ''"'^* 
heard  any  intelligence.     The  same  day  the  Indians  and  a 
hundred  and  fifty  volunteers  were  detached  to  take  the 
advance  under  Captain  de  Laye  of  the  militia,  and  block- 
ade the  Natchez  os  soon  as  they  wore  discovered ;   but 
this  detachment  did  nut  proceed  far,  the  Indians  not  going 
willingly  on  this  expedition.     On  the  eleventh,  they  as- 
cended Red  River,  and  at  noon  the  next  day  they  entered 
the  Black.     I'he  General  had  commanded  the  greatest 
precaution  to  avoid  being  discovered  by  the  enemy ;  but 
his  orders  were  unavailing,  us  the  Indians,  recoguiziug  no 
authority  and  observing  no  discipline,  continued  to  fire,  as 
usual  wit)',  them,  at  all  game  that  showed  itself ;  so  that  it 
is  rath      ustoni»>hiDg  that  they  succeeded  in  finding  the 
enemy  iu  his  fort  after  so  long  a  march  and  so  little  secrecy. 

It  was  on  the  20tli  of  January  that  they  discovered  the  The  army 
enemy.  Orders  were  at  once  given  to  invest  then,  and  ac  tuc^t^ncmy, 
this  was  done  closely,  and  they  were  within  speaking  dis- 
tance, the  besieged  began  by  invectives.  The  trenches 
were  opened  and  skirmishing  kept  up  all  day  and  all 
night.  The  next  day  the  mortars  and  all  things  necessa- 
ry for  the  siege  were  landed.  Some  shells  were  then 
thrown,  wliich  fell  inside  the  fort.  The  besieged  made  a 
sortie,  killed  one '  Frenchman  and  one  negro,  and  wound- 
ed an  oflicer,  but  they  were  sharply  repulsed  by  Mr.  de 
Lussor.  Shells  were  tlirowu  all  tlirough  the  22nd,  but 
produced  no  great  result,  and  the  enemy  wounded  two  of 
our  soldiers.  However,  on  the  24th,  they  hoisted  a  white 
flag.  Perrier  at  once  raised  a  similar  one  at  the  head  of 
his  trench,  and  soon  after  an  Indian  was  seen  approach- 
ing with  two  calumets  in  his  hand. 

The  General  sent  his  interpreter  to  receive  him,  and 
when   the  envoy  came  before  him,  he  asked   for  peace,

offering  to  surrender  all  the  negroes  '7hom  they  still  had 
in  the  fort.     Perrier  replied  that  he  wished  the  negroes, 

They  ask  but  he  also  required  that  the  chiefs  should  come  to  con- 
■""**  ■  fer  with  him.  The  deputy  replied  that  the  chiefs  would 
not  come,  but  that  if  the  General  had  anything  to  com- 
municate to  them,  he  might  advance  to  the  head  of  the 
trench,  and  that  the  Head  Chief  would  on  his  side  ad- 
vance to  the  edge  of  his  fort.  Ferrier  told  him  to  go  at 
all  events  and  get  the  negroes,  and  that  on  his  return  he 
would  announce  his  intentions. 

Theygive      Ee  returned  with   this   reply    and  in   half   an   hour 

up  all  the  ■^  •' 

nugrocs  brought  eighteen  negroes  and  one  negress.  On  restoring 
from  the  them  to  the  General,  he  told  him  that  the  Sun  would  not 
whom  they  come  out,  yet  that  he  asked  nothing  except  to  make 
peace ;  but  on  condition  that  the  army  should  at  once  re- 
tire ;  that  if  it  adopted  this  course,  he  pledged  his  word 
that  his  nation  would  never  commit  any  hostility  against 
the  French,  and  that  he  was  even  ready,  if  desired,  to  go 
and  restore  his  village  in  its  old  site.  The  General  re- 
plied that  ho  would  listen  to  no  proposition  till  the  chiefs 
came  to  meet  him ;  that  he  assured  them  their  lives ;  but 
that  if  they  did  not  come  to  him  that  very  day,  there 
should  be  no  quarter  for  any  one. 

The  envoy  returned  with  this  message,  and  after  a  time 
came  back  to  say  that  all  the  warriors,  with  one  accord,  re- 
fused to  let  the  Sun  come  out ;  that  this  excepted,  they  were 
disposed  to  do  anything  required.  The  cannon  had  just 
arrived ;  the  General  replied  to  this  Indian  that  he  held 
to  his  first  proposition,  and  ordered  him  to  notify  his  peo- 
ple that  if  they  allowed  a  single  cannon  to  be  fired,  he 
would  put  all  to  the  sword,  without  sparing  even  the  wo 
men  and  children.  This  man  soon  returned  with  a  Nat- 
che  named  St.  Come,  a  son  of  the  woman  Chief,  and  who 
consequently  would  have  succeeded  the  Sun.  This  In- 
dian, who  had  at  all  times  beeL  quite  familiar  with  the 
French,  told  Mr.  Perrier  in  a  very  resolute  tone,  that, 
inasmuch  as  peace  had  been  concluded,  he  ought  to  dis- 
miss his  troops ;  that  he  was  very  sorry  for  what  his  na-

tion  had  done  against  us,  but  that  all  should  be  forgotten, 
especially  as  the  prime  mover  in  all  the  mischief  had 
been  killed  in  the  first  siege  daring  the  Choctaw  attack. 

Perrier  expressed  his  pleasure  at  seeing  him,  but  insist- 
ed absolutely  on  seeing  the  Head  Chief  also;  that  he 
would  no  longer  be  trifled  with,  and  thai  no  Natch^  must 
again  think  of  coming  to  his  presence  except  in  company 
with  the  Sun,  as  he  would  fire  on  any  one  advancing  to 
make  new  proposals ;  that  he  accordingly  permitted  him 
to  return  to  his  fort,  but  that  if  the  Head  Chief  did  not 
come  forth  as  soon  as  he  got  in,  he  would  reduce  the  fort 
to  ashes  with  his  bombs.  Saint  C6me  at  once  took  leave 
of  him,  and  in  half  an  hour  was  seen  coming  forth  with 
the  Sun,  and  another  called  the  Flour  Chief,  (Chef  de  la 
Farine.)  The  last  was  the  real  author  of  the  massacre  of 
the  French ;  but  Saint  Come  had  wished  to  throw  the 
fault  on  another.  They  appeared  at  the  moment  when 
preparations  were  making  to  attack  the  fort  during  the 
coming  night. 

Mr.  Perrier  sent  soldiers  to  meet  them  and  conduct 
them  to  his  quarters.  The  Sun  told  the  General  that  he 
was  charmed  to  treat  with  him,  and  that  he  came  to  re- 
peat to  him  what  he  had  told  him  through  the  envoy; 
that  it  was  not  he  who  had  killed  the  French ;  that  he 
was  then  too  young  to  speak,  and  that  it  was  the  ancients 
who  had  formed  thic  criminal  project.  "I  am  well 
aware,"  he  added,  "  that  it  will  always  be  ascribed  to  me, 
because  I  was  the  sovereign  of  my  nation,  yet  I  am 
quite  innocent."  In  fact,  it  has  always  been  believed  in 
the  colony  that  hie  whole  crime  was  in  not  daring  to  re- 
sist his  nation,  or  notify  the  French  of  wiiat  was  plotting 
against  them.  Up  to  that  time,  and  especially  before  he 
attained  the  dignity  of  Sun,  he  had  never  given  any 
grounds  to  distrust  him.  Saint  Come,  who  was  likewise 
not  hostile  to  the  French,  also  cleared  him  us  well  as 
he  could ;  but  the  other  chief  merely  said  that  he  regret- 
ted deeply  ull  that  had  happened.  "  We  had  no  sense," 
he  continued,  "but  hereafter  we  shall  have."    As  they

by  a  loud  noise.  Ho  sprang  to  his  two  pocket-pistols, 
and  perceived  Saint  Come  and  the  Sun  in  the  posture  of 
men  who  are  on  the  point  of  escaping.  He  told  them 
that  he  would  blow  out  the  brains  of  the  first  who  stirred, 
and  as  he  was  alone,  the  sentinels  and  other  two  officers 
being  iu  pursuit  of  the  Flour  Chief,  whom  they  had  by

Sun  was,  nnd  informed  him  that  the  Flour  Chief  had  come 
into  the  fort ;  that  having  awaked  his  nephew  and  eight 
or  ten  of  the  oldest  warriors,  he  had  told  tiiem  that  the 
French  intended  to  burn  them  all ;  that  for  his  part,  he 
was  sternly  resolved  no  longer  to  remain  exposed  to  fall 
into  their  hands,  and  that  he  advised  them  to  seek  jafety 
with  him  ;  that  they  had  followed  his  advice  and  escaped 
with  their  wives  and  children ;  that  all  the  others  had  uo- 
liberated  whether  to  do  the  same,  but  had  deferred  too

pied, which  made  him  the  third  person  in  the  nation,  and 
gave  him  absolute  power  over  all  whom  he  commanded. 

In  the  evening,  Mr.  Perrier  went  to  see  the  Sun,  and 
declared  to  him  that  he  must  send  orders  to  all  his  sub- 
jects to  come  forth  from  the  fort  unarmed,  with  their 
wives  and  children ;  that  he  would  spare  their  lives  and 
prevent  the  Indians  from  illtreating  them.  He  obeyed, 
and  at  once  sent  orders  by  the  Natche  who  had  come  to 
bear  the  message  I  have  mentioned ;  but  all  refused  to 
submit.  The  wife  of  the  Head  Chief  came  to  him  the 
same  day,  with  his  brother  and  some  others  of  his  family, 
and  Perrier  gave  her  a  hearty  welcome,  in  consideration 
of  the  kindness  she  had  shown  the  French  women  during 
their  captivity.  They  were  anxious  to  have  the  woman 
Chief,  who  had  even  more  indueuce  in  the  nation  than  the 
Sun  himself.  The  wife  of  the  Chief  wut  repeatedly  to 
the  furt  to  induce  her  to  come  out,  but  her  exhortations 
were  unavailing.  About  thirty-five  men  and  two  hundred 
women  surrendered  towards  two  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  ; 
the  rest  were  told  that  unless  they  tlid  the  same  at  once,  the 
cannonade  would  begin,  and  that  as  soon  as  it  opened, 
there  should  be  no  mercy  for  any  one.  They  replied  t'mt 
we  might  fire  when  we  chose;  that  they  did  not  fear 
death.  Yet  it  is  certain  that  there  were  only  seventy 
warriors  at  most,  remaining  in  the  fort ;  that  they  had  not

a  ttinglti  chief,  and  that  most  of  them  kept  themselves 
shut  up  from  the  fear  of  falling  into  the  hands  of  the 
ludiaus  if  thev  attempted  to  escape  separately,  or  of  be- 
ing perceived  by  the  besiegers  if  thej  all  escaped  in  a  body. 

They  were  not,  however,  cannonaded;  moreover,  the 
weather  was  fearful,  the  rain  having  been  incessant  for 
threo  days ;  the  besieged  trusted  that  the  French  would 
be  less  careful  in  watching  the  passes,  and  they  were 
not  mistaiceu.  About  eight  o'clock  at  night,  Mr.  de  Be- 
nac  sent  word  to  Mr.  Perrier  that  they  were  escaping. 
The  trenches  and  all  the  posts  at  once  were  ordered  to 
tire,  but  the  fugitives  passed  unperceived  along  a  bayou 
or  little  river,  which  run  between  the  quarter  of  the  mili- 
tia and  that  of  the  Baron  de  Cresnay;  and  before  it 
was  known,  and  we  entered  the  fort,  they  were  already 
fur  oif  with  their  wives  and  children.  Only  one  woman 
was  found,  who  had  been  just  delivered  of  a  child,  and 
one  man  in  the  act  of  escaping.' 

The  next  day,  the  26th,  we  endeavored  to  induce  the 
Indians  to  pursue  these  fugitives,  but  they  refused,  say- 
ing that  as  they  had  escaped  by  our  fault,  it  was  our 
business  to  pursue  them ;  su  that  having  no  longer  any 
enemies  to  tight,  our  troops  hud  to  think  of  returning. 
The  same  day,  all  the  prisoners  were  bound ;  the  Sun,  his 
brother,  brother-in-law,  ISuiut  Come  and  all  of  that 
family  were  put  un  board  the  Saint  Louis.  Forty  war- 
riors were  put  in  the  demi-galley  commanded  by  le  Bueur. 
The  women  and  children,  numbering  in  all  three  hundred 
uud  eighty-seven  persons,  were  distributed  among  the 
other  vessels.  The  whole  army  embarked  on  the  27tb, 
uud  on  the  5th  of  February  reuched  New  Orleans.*

could  already  in  an  emergency  handle  a  musket ;  that  one  of 
their  chiefs  had  gone  to  the  Chickasaws  with  forty  men 
and  many  women ;  that  another,  with  sixty  or  seventy 
men,  more  than  a  hundred  women,  and  a  great  number  of 
children,  was  three  days  journey  from  his  fort,  on  the 
shore  of  a  lake ;  that  twenty  men,  ten  women  aud  six  ne- 
groes were  at  the  Ouatohitas ;  that  a  band  discovered  by 
the  army  on  the  18th  of  January,  comprised  twenty  men, 
fifty  women,  and  many  children ;  that  some  twenty  war- 
riors were  prowling  around  their  old  village  to  cut  off  the 
Frenchmen ;  that  the  Yazoos  and  Corrois  were  in  an- 
other fort  three  days'  march  from  his ;  that  all  the  rest 
had  died  of  hardship  or  dysentery.  We  were  finally 
informed  that  the  Flour  Chief  might  have  assembled 
sixty  or  seventy  men,  a  hundred  women,  and  a  g  at  num- 
ber of  children. 

Le  Sueur  having  acquired  all  this  information,  proceed- 
ed to  report  it  to  the  General,  and  told  him  that  if  he 
would  allow  him  to  take  all  the  well-disposed  men,  he  be- 
lieved he  could  guarantee  to  master  all  these  separate 
corps ;  but  he  was  refused.  Perrier  had  not,  perhaps,  all 
the  confidence  in  the  Ctiuadians  that  most  of  them  de- 
served, and.  brought  up  in  a  service  whero  discipline  and 
subordination  are  at  the  highest  point,  he  could  not  con- 
ceive that  anything  of  importance  can  be  effected  with 
militia,  who  acknowledged  no  law  of  war  but  great 
bravery  and  invincible  patience  in  the  severest  marches 
and  most  laborious  works.  He  would  doubtless  have 
thought  otherwise  had  he  reflected  that  rules  must  be 
adapted  according  to  the  enemy's  manner  of  fighting. 

However,  we  were  not  slow  in  perceiving  that  the  Nat- 
chez could  still  render  themselves  formidable,  and  that 
the  step  of  sending  the  Bun  aud  all  who  had  been  taken 
with  him  to  be  sold  as  slaves  in  St.  Domingo,  had  rather

refuge  among  the  Chickasaws,  asked  to  bo  received  and 
pardoned ;  that  they  would  reside  wherever  it  was  wished, 
but  that  they  should  be  glad  to  bo  near  the  Tonicas,  and 
that  he  came  to  ascertain  his  intentions. 

Perrier  replied  that  he  consented  to  their  settling  two 
leagues  from  his  village,  but  not  nearer,  to  avoid  all  000a- 
sion  of  quarrel  between  the  two  nations ;  but  that  above 
all  things,  he  exacted  that  they  should  come  unarmed. 
The  Tonica  promised  to  conform  to  this  order  ;  yet  as 
soon  as  he  reached  home,  he  received  thirty  Natchez  into 
his  village,  after  taking  the  precaution  to  disarm  them. 
At  the  same  time  fifteen  other  Natchez  and  twenty  wom- 
en came  to  the  Baron  de  Cresnay,  whom  they  found  in 
the  fort  which  had  been  built  on  their  old  grounds.  A 
few  days  after,  the  Flour  Chief  arrived  among  the  Toni- 
cas with  a  hundred  men,  their  women  and  children,  hav- 
ing concealed  fifty  Chickasaws  and  Corrois  in  the  cane- 
brake  around  the  village. 

The  Head  Chief  informed  them  that  he  was  forbidden 
to  receive  them  unless  they  gave  up  their  arms  ;  they  re- 
plied that  this  was  indeed  their  intention,  but  they 
begged  him  to  consent  to  let  them  keep  them  some  time 
longer,  lest  their  women,  seeing  them  disarmed,  should 
think  themselves  prisoners  condemned  to  death.  He  con- 
sented ;  then  food  wos  distributed  to  their  new  guests, 
and  they  danced  till  after  midnight,  after  which  the  Toni- 
cas retired  to  their  cabins,  thinking  that  of  course  the 
Natchez  would  also  go  to  rest.  But  soon  after,  that  is  to 
say,  one  hour  before  day,  for  it  was  the  14th  day  of  June, 
the  Natchez,  and  apparently   the  Chickasaws  and  Cor-

roia,  although  Perrior'u  luttor  Bays  nothing  uu  tho  point, 
fell  upon  all  the  cubinu,  ami  slaughtoreil  uU  whom  they 
HurpriBeil  aHloep.  The  Head  Chief  ran  up  at  the  noise, 
and  at  first  killed  four  Natchez ;  but  overborne  by  num- 
bers, he  was  slain  with  some  twelve  of  his  warriors.  His 
wur-ohief,  undismayed  by  this  loss  or  the  flight  of  most  of 
his  braves,  rallied  a  dozen,  with  whom  he  regained  the 
Head  Chief's  cabin ;  he  even  succeeded  in  recalling  the 
rest,  and  after  fighting  for  five  days  and  nights  almost 
without  intermission,  remained  master  of  his  village.  The 
Touicas  on  this  occasion  had  twenty  men  killed  and  as 
many  wounded.  They  killed  of  the  Natchez  thirty-thr«)e 
men,  and  took  three  prisoners,  whom  they  burned.' 

Furrier  no  sooner  received  this  tidings,  than  he  dis- 
patched a  detachment,  under  the  command  of  the  Cheva- 
lier d'Artaguette,  to  induce  as  many  Indians  as  he  could 
to  pursue  the  Natchez.  At  the  same  time  ho  ordered 
the  Baron  de  Cresuay  to  make  sure  of  all  those  who  had 
surrendered  to  him ;  he  obeyed,  but  his  adjutant,  to 
whom  he  confided  them,  having  allowed  them  to  retain 
their  knives,  they  sprang,  at  a  momenl  when  it  was  least 
expected,  on  eight  muskets  which  were  stacked,  and  with 
these  kept  up  a  fire  till  they  were  all  killed,  men,  women 
and  children,  to  the  number  of  thirty-seven.  Their  chief 
had  gone  to  New  Orleans  with  fifteen  of  his  men ;  these 
were  arrested  and  sent  to  Toulouse  Island,  where  they 
were  put  in  irons.  They  found  means  to  break  them,  but 
had  not  time  to  escape,  and  were  all  killed. 

Meunwnile  the  Flour  Chief,  after  the  miscarriage  of  his 
plot  at  tho  Touicas,  proceeded  to  join  those  of  his  nation 
who  had  escaped  Perrier  on  tho  Black  River,  led  them  to 
Natchitoches,  where  de  Saint  Denys  was  with  but  u  few 
soldiers,  and  besieged  him  in  his  fort.  Saint  Denys  at

'73'-  relief,  and  on  the  2l8t  of  October,  Mr.  de  Loubois  set  out 
from  New  Orleans  at  the  head  of  sixty  men  to  reinforce 
him.  He  had  advanced  six  leagues  up  Bed  Biver,  and 
was  only  seven  or  eight  days'  march  from  the  Natchito- 
ches, when  the  Sieur  Fontaine,  sent  by  de  Saint  Denys 
to  Perrier,  informed  him  that  the  Natchez  had  been  de- 
feated ;  that  the  Natchitoches  had  at  the  outset  wished  to 
attack  them,  but  being  only  forty  against  two  hundred, 
they  had  been  compelled  to  retire,  and  even  abandon 
their  village  after  losing  four  of  their  men  ;  that  the  Nat- 
chez had  seized  the  village,  and  intrenched  themselves 
there ;  that  then  de  Suint  Denrs,  having  received  a  rein- 
forcement of  Assinais  and  Attacapas,  who  were  joined  by 
some  Spaniards,  had  attacked  the  enemy's  intrenchments 
and  killed  eighty-two,  including  all  their  chiefs ;  that  all 
the  survivors  had  taken  flight,  and  that  the  Natchitoches 
were  in  close  pursuit.' 

So  many  losses,  and  especially  the  loss  of  the  chiefs, 
reduced  the  Natchez  to  a  mere  tribal  band ;  but  there 
were  enough  left  to  harass  the  settlers  of  Louysia- 
na,  and  to  interrupt  trade.  Moreover,  it  was  impossible 
to  dissemble  any  longer  with  the  Chickasaws,  who  were 
not  long  now  in  declaring  themselves  openly,  which  they 
had  hitherto  avoided  doing.  They  numbered  a  thousaml 
warriors,  and  eighty  or  a  hundred  Natchez  might  yet  join 
them,  to  say  nothing  of  the  few  remaining  Corrois  and 
Yazoos.  This  was  enough  to  plunge  the  colony  back  into 
the  panic  from  which  it  had  not  entirely  recovered,  and 
it  beheld  itself  on  the  eve  of  sustaining  a  new  war,  to 
which  its  present  forces  did  not  promise  a  speedy  termi- 
nation. 

The  Chickasaws,   the  fiercest  and  bravest  of  all  the 

exe'i'te  our'  Louysiana  Indians,  after  raising  the  mask  as  they  had 

just  done  at  the  Tonicas,   expected,  of  course,   that  we

would  cease  to  treat  them  so  considerately.  To  check  ns, 
they  had  taken  steps  which  led  men  to  believe  that  their 
neighbors  directed  all  their  movements,  and  in  a  very 
short  time  we  had  proofs  that  were  by  no  means  equivo- 
cal. They  began  by  sending  to  New  Orleans  a  trusty  ne- 
gro, to  notify  all  of  his  race  who  were  among  us,  that  it 
depended  on  themselves  alone  to  recover  their  liberty  and 
live  in  quiet  and  plenty  among  the  English. 

This  man  managed  his  intrigues  well ;  he  was  heard  with 
pleasure  by  all  his  race  ;  but  Perrier  was  warned  by  a  ne- 
gress,  a  servant  in  the  city,  that  a  plot  was  formed  by  a 
great  number  of  these  slaves;  that  they  had  agreed  to 
take  the  time  of  the  parochial  High  Mass  to  set  fire  to 
various  houses  in  ordor  to  occupy  apart  from  each  other, 
all  not  at  church,  and  then  to  seize  this  favorable  con- 
juncture to  escape.  On  this  deposition,  the  Command- 
ant-General arrested  a  woman  who  was  the  mainspring  of 
the  conspiracy,  and  four  men,  who  had  beer  declared  the 
chiefs.  They  were  confronted  and  convicted ;  the  woman 
was  hung  and  the  men  broken  alive,  and  these  examples, 
which  Hhowed  the  rest  that  their  secret  had  taken  wind, 
was  enough  to  keep  the  rest  in  their  duty.' 

Meanwhile  the  Choctaws,  of  whom  a  part  had  been 
gained  by  the  Chickasaws,  had  turned  a  deuf  ear  to  the 
invitatit)ns  made  by  the  Sieur  Begis  in  behalf  of  his  gen- 
eral to  send  three  hundred  of  their  warriors  against  our 
enemies;  but  iliirty  or  forty  of  the.se  last  iiaviug  been 
killed  in  an  engagement  by  the  Frencli,  this  little  check 
lost  them  the  uUiauce  of  that  nation,  the  only  one  from 
whom  they  had  anything  to  fear  or  hope  :  it  all  united  in 
our  favor.  Then  the  Cliickasaws  again  turned  to  the  Mi- 
amis,  Illinois  and  Akansas  ;  but  they  found  tribes  who  were 
still  faitliful  to  their  fir.st  engagements,  and  who  from 
the  outset  dissipated  all  their  hopes  of  gaining  them. 
The  Illinois  even  gave  up  to  the  Coiumuudant-General 
the  three  ambassadors  whom  our  enemies  had  sent  them,

and  they  were  put  at  the  discretion  of  the  Choctaws,  who 
burned  them  at  New  Orleans  itself,  and  thereby  removed  all 
doubt  that  might  yet  remain  as  to  their  attachment  to  us. 

While  these  things  were  going  on,  Mr.  Perrier,  who,  as 
he  himself  states  in  one  of  his  letters  to  the  Minister,  ex- 
pected to  be  recalled,  because  he  had  been  informed  that 
they  were  working  against  him  in  the  India  Company, 
was  quite  surprised  to  receive  a  commission,  appointing  him 
Governor  of  Louysiai^a  for  the  King.  On  the  22nd  of 
January  in  this  year,  the  Company  had  deliberated  the 
question  of  conveying  back  to  his  majesty  the  grant 
which  had  been  made  to  it  of  that  province  and  the  Illi- 
nois country  and  their  exclusive  privilege,  on  condition  of 
being  empowered  tu  grant  permissions  to  the  merchants 
of  the  kingdom  who  might  wish  to  trade  there.  On  the 
27th  of  March,  this  deliberation  was  approved  by  an  Ar- 
ret, and  Mr.  de  Salmon,  who  was  discharging  at  New  Or- 
leans the  duties  of  Commissaire  Ordonnateur,  took  posses- 
sion of  .,iie  country  in  the  name  of  his  majesty,  by  Letters 
Patent  of  the  King,  on  the  10th  of  April  following. 

However,  Mr.  Perrier  had  not  the  time  to  profit  by  the 
measures  which  he  had  adopted  to  push  on  the  Chicka- 
saw War.  He  preferred  the  service  in  which  he  had 
been  brought  up,  to  expeditions  where  the  risks  incurred 
could  not  be  compensated  by  the  glory  that  might  be  ac- 
quired, and  he  w  3  reheved  in  1733  by  Mr.  de  Bienville,' 
whom  he  had  succeeded  in  172G.  The  new  Governor 
found  himself  at  once  burthened  with  the  Chickasaw 
War,  which  had  become  a  much  more  serious  matter  than 
had  been  at  first  supposed.  This  war  is  not  yet  terminat- 
ed, as  we  cannot  flatter  ourselves  that  the  peace  recently 
granted  them  will  be  durable  ;  moreover,  the  events  which 
it  has  furnished  for  history  are  so  differently  related,  that 
it  is  not  yet  possible  to  distinguish  the  truth  amid  the  clouds 
in  which  the  friends  and  enemies  of  the  principal  actors 
have  enveloped  it.'

Bkilful 

retreat  of  an 

officer  of 

Bixtcen 

years  ol 

ago. 


All  the  world  knows '  the  loss  sustained  by  the  colony 
in  1736,  in  the  persons  of  the  brave  Chevalier  d'Artaguette 
and  a  great  number  of  officers  of  merit,  and  the  noble  ac-  Nobic 
tion  of  the  Jesuit  Father  Senat,  who  preferred  to  expose  jfsuil  and 
himself  to  the  certain  peril  of  being  taken  and  burned  by 
the  Chickasaws,  as  he  really  was,  rather  than  not  assist 
to  their  latest  breath  the  wounded  who  could  not  retreat 
or  even  be  transported  by  those  who  did.  This  retreat, 
which  was  the  work  of  a  young  man  of  sixteen,  named 
Yoisin,  may  be  regarded  as  a  masterpiece  in  point  of  skill 
and  bravery.  Pursued  for  twenty-five  leagues,  he  lost, 
indeed,  many  men,  but  it  cost  the  enemy  dearly,  and  he 
besides  marched  forty-five  leagues  without  food,  his  men 
carrying  in  their  arms  the  wounded  who  were  able  to 
bear  transportation.  Almost  all'  those  who  in  this  affair 
fell  into  the  enemies'  hands,  and  who  were  quite  numer- 
ous, were  burned  in  the  most  barbarous  manner,  with  the 
missionary,  who  was  not  the  only  one  to  exhort  the  com- 
panions of  his  torture  to  do  honor  by  their  courage  and 
patience,  to  their  religion  and  their  nation.  The  Sieur  de

allude  to  this,  and  makes  Senat's 
death  to  have  been  caused  by  In- 
dian superstition.  He  says  the  En- 
glish traders  tried  to  save  the  vic- 
tims. See  p.  334  for  his  account  of 
the  Ciiickasaw  War.  This  atfuir 
was  a  mere  episode  in  this  ill  man- 
aged campaign,  which  Charlevoix 


does  not  attempt  here  to  chronicle.

Tanguay,  Diet.  Qent'alogique,  i.,
